Hi,
The answer to this is pretty simple: Open up your pc, get
out the DVD+R/RW drive, and look at the back of the drive
( where you plug in the cables ) It should have a jumper
somewhere, which is plugged into the Master by default,
remove the jumper, and put it in a way that it is Slave (
most of the time the instalation manual of the drive
shows you how to do this, or you can read it on the drive
itself. You cannot have 2 master drives on 1 cable ! So
your old drive is master, and the other one was master 2,
which gives a conflict. If you put your dvd+r/rw drive to
slave then i'm sure they will both work fine.
