This can be true, even if the drive works with Windows or Linux. If the drive is on the secondary IDE bus, there must be a secondary master device on the chain. If that doesn't solve the problem, try the drive as the slave on the primary IDE bus. Some combinations of drives and controllers won't work with a secondary master CD-ROM.
