I am using a pc with windows xp home and I would like to add a movie player to my pc. The pc has a primary and a secondary plug in slots, master and slave. I am using AII accelerator. The secondary slot contains a cd reader(master) and a cd/rw(slave) which works. The primary has a 40 pin ribbon w/ 2 long connectors, one for the HDD the other for another device. The back of the dvd movie player has a jumper for slave, master and cable control. The last time I tried to connect this long ago I could not get the HDD to get the dvd movie player to work as a slave. I have used up all the ribbon ports and only have the HDD one left. I should install the software first, but is there something I am not doing like going into BIOS or like that to configure this drive? The back of the dvd player says these words and pins in this order>digital audio,analog audio,cable select, slave, master, 40 pin ied interface, dc input. Could I try the cable select? Thanks Brett
