You need to check the Master slave settings of this device, you can only have 1x master & 1x slave on an IDE channel, if you set to the wrong one then the devices will conflict, if you are replacing a drive check what setting it had and replicate the same setting on the replacement CD drive. the master slave setting pins are usually next to the 40pin IDE connector on the back of the drive. hope this helps :D
If you mean that you open "MY Computer" and your D drive and your E drive are not there, These are not programs but representations of the disks detected by the system..
Your main HDD, which Is usually your Primary master (connected to the Ribbon cable in the Primary IDE slot) MASTER is designated by jumpers on the drive itself.
If you hava a secondary HDD this would connect to the same Ribbon cable as the Main HDD (in most systems) but the jumpers on the HDD would designate it as SLAVE (to avoid conflict)
CDROM/Writers are usually on the SECONDARY IDE cable, with one set as MASTER and if you have a second, The second drive set as SLAVE, again using the jumpers on the drive itself.
If you have two drives on the same ribbon cable with the same settings, one of two things happens. 1 you can't see either of them. 2 you can only see one of them.
it is also possible (I have had this happen) that one of your CDROM/R Drives does not like to be SLAVE, and will conflict or not detect.
so you have to see what settings they will accept.
As CD drives communicate slower than HDDs putting a CD drive on the same ribbon cable as an HDD will reduce the data transfer rate of the HDD to the same transfer speed as the CD (this has largely been overcome with software now).
THe drive Letters C,D, E, F etc are assigned by the system, first all of the HDDs partitions are given Drive letters (unless hidden) then the CD rom drives are given Drive letters. It is possible to override this drive lettering to give specific devices particular designations, however it is not reccomended that you change the drive letter of your system partition. (as it can mess the whole system up)
I hope this clarifies
