I have an old computer and I am trying to install a CD-RW. I have never taken this computer apart before. I discovered that the manufacturer had installed the hard drive as secondary master and the CD-ROM as slave. I tried moving the HD and CD-ROM to master, but then the BIOS would not autodetect. I tried a number of other configurations and I think the primary IDE channel is somehow disabled or broken. Any suggestions?
