Connecting SATA, PATA and DVD-R in one machine
Hello,
I seem to be having the same question as tremendous only a little different. Here it goes:
I have a Maxtor 6Y080L0 80Gb (S?)ATA 133 drive attached to the primary bus as Master, nothing on Primary Slave, on Secondary Master a NEC ND-3540A DVD-R and for the moment on Secondary Slave an old CD-RW drive (planning on giving it a try on out-of-the-window flight:). I want to connect a Maxtor 6L080P0 80Gb PATA 133 hard drive. Where should I put it? As said I would throw away the cd-rw, would use 1 drive for WinXP and 1 for Ubuntu 7.10, so burning DVDs would be done from both drives. For me it's important to be able to transfer big amounts of data from HDD to HDD (due to my work). That's it. Thanks for the help!

P.S: my machine specs:
MB GigaByte GA-7VT600 1394 KT60
AMD Athlon 2200+ XP
768 Mb RAM (I know I know a strange number...not my fault)
Ah yes and 80 conductor cable on Primary and 40 conductor on Secondary
