One must be configured as "master" and the other must be configured as "slave". There are jumpers on the drive that you use to set whether the drive is master or slave. Most motherboard have two IDE connectors, allowing up to 4 IDE drives. I hope that answered your question. muchmark 10-04-2001, 07:18 AM The rule of thumb: C- Drive Primary Master Burner Secondary Master DVD Primary Slave Second HD Secondary Slave RLT65 10-04-2001, 01:19 PM The rule of thumb: C- Drive Primary Master Burner Secondary Master DVD Primary Slave Second HD Secondary Slave If the above is done with an ATA66/100 hard disk, the burner would reduce the speed to it's max transfer rate, right?
