For a device to be a master, it has to be plugged in on the end of the cable. Slave goes in on the middle and the naturally the mobo on the other end.

If you have two seperate IDE cables, set the HD and CDROM as master of their own IDE channel, boot up and enter CMOS/BIOS and make sure that they are set in there as such.
kinda weird its not recognizing it off of cable select tho.

oh well matt, if it doesnt work, you know where to find me haha
