Ah, now there's a distinct possibility. If the DVD drive is on the same
cable as one of the HDDs, You need to look on the dvd drive in back and
re-jumper it to a slave. If the jumper directions are not on the drive
or (enclosed) documentation, you should be able to find them on the web.
Alternately, you can put the dvd drive on the second channel cable all
by itself.
If you have a free channel you should plug the device into it. The result
will be faster burn speeds.
Either way, when you have it hooked up correctly, you'll be able to
verify by going into cmos before booting into the os, if the bios sees
it, then the os should also recognize it and load the necessary drivers
etc.

Well, I finally got my NEC 3550A DVD burner from !%$#%@ Newegg. I connected it
up and neither Linux nor Windows could see it. I couldn't even boot off the
old CD burner until I disconnected the new drive.
Any suggestions?
Is it IDE? might be a master/slave setting thing?
