My computeris an ASUS MOTHERBOARD With an AMD K-6-2 processor. I have a 40 GB WD Disk and an Creative CDR as the primary decices. I'am trying to connect a WD 4 GB and a DVD as the secondary devices using CABEL SELECT for I was told this is the only way WIndows 98 would reconise the DVD! So far my computer only reconises the WD DISK.
COULD YOU PLEASE HELP! 1500

If the 4 GB drive is on the same cable as the 40 GB drive, put the jumper on the 4 gig to slave...same goes for the dvd player, set it to slave as well...this is assuming that your primary devices are set to master.
Good luck!

You should not use "cable select mode" for IDE devices when you use standard IDE cables. The best way to connect HDD and DVD drives is to set HDD as master and DVD as slave drive on the second IDE channel.
