CD drive and zip drive

I brought a desktop which have a CD-RW, 250Mb zip drive, and 3.5 drive. Later on I brought a 48x CD drive, which i try to install it to the desktop. For some reason, after installing the CD drive, the CD drive work, but the zip drive doesn't. I don't know if it is because there not room to plug both of them in or i just did it incorrectly.

    When your computer boots, check the BIOS screen and see if the ZIP drive is shown. If it isn't, that means it isn't installed correctly.

    I assume the CDRW and 48xCD drives are both IDE.
    Is the ZIP drive an IDE drive as well?
    If it is, it sounds like you forgot to set the jumpers on the drives connected on the same cable to Master/Slave...
