Any ideas?

With IDE, the physical connection to the cable (master or slave) needs to match the jumper configuration of your devices. If the CDROM drive is connected to the master end of the cable, the jumpers need to be set to master or cable select. Either way everything should work, but the configuration needs to be consistent.
