If you have a CDROM and a CDRW only one needs to be plugged in and both should work, I believe whichever is master should be connected. Make sure that the connection is made with the red wire on the + terminal of the sound card. Someone help me out here. Anyway that sounds like something you should check. An under the hood look never hurts, you might find that you need to clear out the dust bunnies if nothing else. HTH -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842
