Devices connecting problem.....

[ashu888ashu888]

I recently bought a SONY DVD ROM 16-x Model-DDU 1622 and now i have a total of 3 devices in my system...

1.) SAMSUNG CD ROM (connected as Primary Slave,PATA)
2.) SONY DVD ROM (connected as Secondary Slave,PATA)
3.) SAMSUNG CD-WRITER (not connected as any slave or master)

Now i want to make all my 3 devices working(connected to my PC) but the problem is that i dont hv an extra power connector (that 4 pin White color connector wich is connected along side the 40 pin connector(Grey color,DATA CABLE,broad size) slot found behind the CD ROM or the CR-WRITER or even the DVD ROM.

COz there where 2, 4pin white connectors available so i used both of the WHite color 4 pin connector to connect my CD ROM and my DVD ROM, now how to connect my CD WRITER !!!! (there r no white color,4pin connectors available free) ???

4.) My SAMSUNG HARD DISK (connected as PATA Primary Master).

Please suggest wat to do, shud i remove the CD ROM and connect only the DVD ROM and the CD WRITER coz by doin this i will be able to burn Cds as well as browse the CD and the DVD ROM.

But i want all 3 of my devices(CD ROM,CD-WRITER and DVD ROM) connected to my system coz if i remove the CD ROM then i will obviously hv to find a way to sell my CD ROM coz then it will not be used by me at all !!!!

please suggest..... guys..... !!!!


ALso do tell me the meaning of "CABLE SELECT" OPTION (of the Jumper setting).i found this option in the JUMPER SETTINGS of my DVD ROM manual

thanx...

cheers n peace.....
