I have bought a Lite On burner because my CD-reader crashed.
I set the cables just like they sat on the reader, and I also changed it to master (like the reader was before). But when i started up Windows 98, the whole computer stop at the splash screen. But if I take out the IDE cable of the burner, it's work again. How should I do? ... it's some kind of conflict against the burner and the computer/Windows.
