problems installing a dvd drive

[trooper116]

I just bought a lite-on ltd-163 dvd drive and i tried to connect it but when i started windows, it froze and i got the blue screen with an error. Before i connected my dvd drive i had decided to put it on my secondary ide cable in place of my cd-rom drive. The cd-rom was on drive 0 on the ide cable. The other connection, drive 1, is a cd-rw. The cd-rom and cd-rw had jumper settings of cs. When i installed the dvd drive i set its jumper for master and changed the cd-rw to slave. I plugged the same power cable and audio cable that was being used for the cd-rom into the dvd drive. When i started my computer it seemed fine until the windows 98 logo appeared to load windows. It froze and gave me the message. I had to restart and the only way i could get into windows was to go into safe mode. In ordfer to get online i had to disconnect the dvd drive so i could boot up normally. Right now i have it disconnected and now my cd-rw does not show up as available in my computer but it is still connected. What did i do wrong? Any help would be great.


The error was: "An exception 0E has occured at 0028:00000009 in VxD---. This was called from 0028:C188E197 in VxD---."

I am running windows 98 SE

this probably won't help but if you want to make cd2cd copies you should'nt put both drive on the same cable.

Would it be better if i put the dvd drive on the cable with my hard drive and set it to slave and leave the cdrom where ti is? Also, I have the audio out from the dvd drive going to the audio in on my sound card, is this ok. I also wanted to know if I had to have a dvd decoder card in order for it to work?

to have your dvd working you'll need a dvd decoder but check your video card alot of the new ones actually have a decoder included. yes it might be better to hook your dvd to the hard drive (leave the audio it's fine) you want to keep your cdrw off a cable you'll probably use to burn (you lose speed that way).
