On the double sided the slave CD drive goes on the lower connector and the Master goes on the end connector.

When you power up press Delete to go into your CMOS. Generally in the first section of the CMOS there are settings for date, time etc. and your drives.
On the secondary part set it to auto detect your secondary drives.(the CD drives)

his esc, save changes and see if your OS detects them.

Depending on your OS (if it's 98 or ME) you may have to use the install disc that came with the Drives to create settings in your config.sys and the autoexec.bat files.

hope this helps.

Ill try that BIOS thing out.

It might be it.
