new dvd drive won't play dvds, but old one can

[Juan Kawada]

Ok so now dvds play in the new drive but not the old.
when I have a dvd in my new drive, and I insert one into the old, It'll pop
up with the dialog asking me what to do. I can select play with kaffeine,
but it'll play the dvd in the new drive instead of the one it just asked me
to play.

Well both drives are sata, I would switch the sata cables just to check, but
I can't log into kubuntu right now (check the message "windows overwrote
boot record").  Seems I've been having alot of problems lately.
