Could be the problem, but your answer is sort'a kind'a backwards ;)
Many drives are factory set to 'cable select'(CS), specially in ready
made junk like Dell, Gateway, Compaq, etc. The fix is to properly
set the jumpers to either 'master' or 'slave' depending if the drive
is on the end of the cable (master) or on the middle connector
(slave). Applies to all drives, HDD's and CD's.
