HARDDISK WON'T BOOT DUE TO NEW CD-RW DRI

Comment:

I've got a new Panasonic MATs---A UJDD410 CD-RW Drive recently. After installing it together with my CD-Rom, my motherboard won't recognize my CD-RW Drive, instead, it was recognized as a fixed drive. Then few moments later, the computer won't boot in BIOS. When i pulled out the cable from the back of the CD-RW drive or from my CD-Rom Drive, the computer would boot up properly. I wonder if anyone can help me to solve this problem.

If they are on the same data cable one needs to be set as "Master" and the other to "Slave"
