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.
