Depending on the type of IDE cable that you have on the optical drives determine how the drives are to be jumpered. If the flat cable is a 40 wire(very washboard looking and connectors same color)then the drives are jumpered Master/Slave. If a 80wire cable(connectoers blue/gray/black) then the jumpers are set to CS(cable select).

do you have burning software like Nero...does the software see it...?
some dvd burners dont like being a slave so try the cable select as mentioned... or try the drive on the IDE all by itself and see what happens?

You have 3 IDE connectors. Only the red connector may be used for optical drives - the 2 green connectors will only work with hard drives.
