New Dvd drive installed

hey guys just reciently i bought a 16 X dvd/cd rom drive by pacafic digital and it took me about an hour because it kept saying that my floppy drive failed so i unplugged it and went to the setup and disabled it it worked fine so then i hooked the dvd drive up and it works fine but one thing is that i cant get my normal cd rom drive to play and the normal one is the one i use for burning cd's what should i do ? and if i possibly hooked my dvd drive up wrong would my pc melt down or do anything to hurt anything in my system ???

does anyone have any clue because i dont want to destroy my MOBO or anything since i have like no money

HELP ME SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It shouldn't do anything to the system, it's just turned off (i think). It depends how u connected ur DVD and CD. If u connected them with the same bus then u have to change one of them from primary to slavery drive. I'd recommend to connect ur DVD with HDD bus.

and how would i do that ..................

On a DVD drive (in the back, where power and all the connections) there is a jumper. Look at the picture on DVD where slave jumper is located and change it.

would anyone have any pictures of that because in my pc theres a bunch of power plug thingies and when i was putting it in it took me a while to find witch plug went into the backs of my hard drive and my cdrw drive and my dvd drive cuz thers one that has a blue slot on my mobo and that goes to my cd rw drive and the yellow one infront of it and that is hooked up to my dvd drive and another white one across from it witch is plugged into my hard drive

I should actually say on your Mobo what goes where.

As for the jumper issue, on the back of your HDD, right next to your EIDE connector there should be two rows of four pins. These are your jumpers which enable you to set your drive to slave, master, automatic.

On the top of your drive ther should be a diagram which shows you which jumpers to connect together using the specified bridging device to set you drive to whichever you choose.

Sorry, can't find any good pictures, but what Enigma said preaty much explains it very well. I'm not very good in search. But u don't need to change jumpers on HDD, u need to change jumpers on CD, but the steps are the same.

by jumpers u mean the power thing with 4 holes in it ???

Nonono...Next to the power thing on DVD-ROM there are like 4 double needles. These are ur pins. And the jumper is the thingy that u plug into pins. Something looks like this:

I thing this image will help. Look at the diagram on DVD-ROM and find which pin should be shortened (pluged in with jumper) on the slave feature. Then take a jumper and plug in to needed pins. There is supposed to be only one jumper.

mine does not have that and i check bios and it didnt even detect that i had a cd rom drive witch is gay and when i took a look at my cd rom drive it didnt have 2 four pronged things it had two 3 pronged things and on the back it showed that if something is on the middle one it is the master and if something is on the third one it is slave but i looked everywhere and i couldnt find anything that would go into that space ????

Yep...u need that something. Called jumper. Looks exactly like this:

i have to go out and buy one ??

I guess yes, although I dont know where u can buy them. If u have only one HDD u can take off from it and plug in to ur DVD. Leave HDD without jumper (it supposed to be automaticly on master without it).
