Pin 1 should be marked on the CD drive too. Also, there should be a notch in the socket and a missing pin in the middle. If the notch is at the top, the missing pin should be at the bottom (opposite the notch) and pin 1 (red stripe) should be to the right. Not sure I followed your IDE configuration. WDC drives have three jumper settings: Master of a pair; slave of a pair; and only drive on the controller. Dern things won't work if jumpered wrong (most other drives I know about have the same jumper for master alone and master of a pair). I GOTTA sell my WDC position <g>. Try the slave jumper setting if your CD is alone on the secondary controller. Many CDRoms use the slave setting as CD alone or slave of a pair. The master jumper setting is used only for master of a pair (opposite of HDs, which makes sense).
