As others have mentioned, it's not possible to answer this without
more details. Please tell us the models and configurations of each device
on both of your IDE busses, then we can make a good start at getting you
in gear.

I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. This is a volunteer

keep up to date on it as well. :)

With all due respect, it's really not our fault if you don't have
your CDROM manual, and can't figure out how to properly set the
jumpers. We will however try to help you with it if you give us the right
details.
Happy new year,
