Yo,
I have just bought a n Lite-On cd-rw, as I thought my much older Sony drive had died...
I currently have both my DVD-rom and cd-writer on the same channel, cd-rw master, and dvd slave. Due to the layout of my case, its the easiest option, beside I don't burn on the fly, so i would assume thats okay.
Anyhoo, when both drives are connected, the lite-on won't even attempt to copy anything, (Gives me the error "Disc Changed" in Nero) even if the source is the HD and not another CD. As soon as i disconnect the DVD drive, it copies fine!
Any ideas whats causing the cd-rw not to like my dvd drive? anything in the bios anyone knows about? Its getting rather fustrating having to unplug my dvd drive everytime i wanna burn a disk! grrr
Thanks

Ensure you use the latest drivers and that your version of Nero supports your CDRW properly (presumably it does if it works with DVD unplugged). There's an outside chance the ATA cable could be faulty, I take it you double checked master/slave settings? If you check in Windows Device Manager you should be able to force ATA33 operation, all the BIOS usually lets you do is set UDMA(33/66/100/133) to AUTO or DISABLED which is useless.
