Have you checked to see that they aren't both set to be master or
slave? Is one set to be cable select and the other either master
or slave? If possible, try swapping their positions on the IDE
cable. I found that one of my DVD writers drives won't be detected
if it's set to slave and not on the last connector.

I've replaced the cable, no difference. I've switched their
respective positions, no difference. I've no idea if the jumpers
are set on either of them for master/slave, I was under the
impression that the OS sorted things out itself these days.. I'll
have to google for the specs for them to work out what the jumper
settings should be. However this is definitely a change due to 10.3
as they both worked under 10.0

Thanks for all your help so far.

The jumper assignments are marked on the drive case !

Oh, if it were that simple .... they aren't

They should be !
SAMSUNG  DVD-ROM SD-612B.
The jumper assignments are stamped into the case just above the three
positions. CS/SL/MS. These are "Cable Select, Slave, Master" Looking
at the back of the drive MS is nearest the IDE connector. The
connector on the other side is for Audio. The little one nearest the
case is digital audio.

This should help.
