Are you sure you've got it connected correctly?
Does the PC's BIOS recognise the devices? Are they listed in the POST
screen? If you go into the BIOS Setup, can you see them in there?
Are they PATA (i.e., EIDE) drives? If so, are both CD and DVD on the
same channel? At a guess, the secondary IDE channel? If so, you
probably want the CD as master and the DVD as slave, or, much less
desirably, both set to "cable select".
It's important to ensure the hardware is working before you worry
about the Linux setup.
