problems with installing dvd burner and dvd player on same pc

by heather.smith . Updated 19 years, 5 months ago

I recently installed a dvd burner dual layer on my pc. and I agonised about which drive to replace dvd player or cd-rw I decided the dvd would go…i don’t remember why, but as I discovered when wanted to copy dvd to dvd i had to copy the dvd to my hard drive and then to the dvd burner. what a pain…so i decided to replace cd-rw with the dvd player, figured duh?? why duplicate drives…well to make a long story short………..when i try to access the burner the pc just restarts it self. i have check jumpers, bios, tried switching the master slave on them both nothing works. after some…..reading i am assuming this is a power issue???? let me just say there are three power conections for these drives 1. dvd burner 2. dvd player 3. floppy and on the primary i have two hard drives with two additional power plugins and one that would plug into a floppy. can these be switched around maybe main hd dvd player and floppy and on the other dvd burner and second hard drive???? any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!
