What's the best IDE setup?

[carney]

If I have an IDE HDD, an IDE CD-ROM, and an IDE CD-RW, what should go on the primary-slave, secondary-master, secondary-slave?

Ide on IDE 1 so its primary master

Cd roms on Secondary ide, master and slave.

I just bought a Philips CD-RW. From what you're saying I should set the jumper for CD-RW as slave and plug it in to the seconary IDE cable. ( where the CDROM is now) Right?? Then it should auto detect, PNP, then install the software. Is this the way it's suppoed to work? Any info greatly appreciated /forum/smile.gif

Ed,

Congratulations on going with the Phillips!

Yes set the CD-RW to slave mode and plug it into the second IDE channel where the CD-ROM is located.

Now get to burning... /forum/smile.gif
