Hardware problem likely related to how you physically installed the
drive.  If it is IDE:
		If on its own cable, have it jumpered to "master"
		
		If on a cable with another drive, have:
			the drive jumpered "master"
			the CD-RW jumpered "slave"

		Problems can arrise if a hard drive (e.g. hda) is on a
		cable on its own but not jumpered either way.  The
		controller (hardware) can figure things out for one
		drive but not two.
