My CD-ROM drive bay is on top of the HD one. I thought the connection
at the end has to be the master and other one in the middle being the
slave. So I set it up as CD being the master, and HD as the slave. My
PC does not recognize any dirve???

Any suggestions,

I was wrong. It seems OK to have the one at the end as slave and the
one in the middle as the master. It works fine now.

Only if you use cable select.

You could have done it the other way.

Try it the other way around.

Looks like you did and it works.
