While I was still a newbie, I installed a cdrom on my
fathers computer, unaware of the IDE slave and master set
up. Meaning, HD-master IDE 1, CDROM-master IDE2, CDR-
slave IDE2. I have just reinstalled XP Home and forgot
to change that setup so he can burn on-the-fly. Now that
XP is installed, I tried to change the IDE setup, but
upon booting it detects the drives but is unable to
install them, they flicker on and off installed then
unable to install. I tried removing them and boooting,
but didn't fix. Do I have to remove them from the device
manager, turn off, switch cables and then boot from cd to
fix the problem? Any help would be appreciated.
