Sony DDU1621 DVD-ROM interface cable wrong
After hours of trouble shooting why the new DVD and old CD drives didn't show up I found that the Sony came with a 40 wire cable that doesn't support CL (cable select). I could have selected master and slave but to be sure I got a new cable (80 wire) and stayed with CL. Both drives were found and installed easily.

OuterLimits,
That is what I figured, had basically the same problem on the PC`s I have worked on the past, some of Dell`s cable worked fine, other were short, some were even split.

OuterLimit,
Thanks for the tip on the Sony Cable, any particular reason you did not use the Dell Cable?
