Dvd writer

I have added another dvd writer drive to my pc, but it
only recognises the second drive and not the original
drive.
Can anyone tell me how to change the bios, so that I can
use both cd roms.
Thanx in advance, Steve

Steve,

My guess would be there is a problem with the jumpers on the drives. Can you
list the jumper settings? Also, to get into the BIOS you're going to hit
either DEL or F1 or F2 or F10 (or maybe another key) during boot... On
machines i'm not familiar with (if it has a power-save monitor), I just
press all of the aforementioned keys.

Best Regards,
