Two things:

First if you have two CD drives on the same cable one has to be "master" and the other "slave". It doesn't matter which.

Second, you need to make sure BIOS is set up properly, you may need to have the BIOS auto-detect the drives. THere are several BIOS manufacturers and you need to look through the book that came with the computer to figure out what you want your CD to do, (boot from CD?)
