    Assuming you only have 2 IDE channels, 0 & 1. I would connect both hard disk on IDE 0 and connect the slower devices such as CDROM, CDRW, Zip, etc on the IDE 1 channel. Use the faster hard disk to load the OS and slower device for saved datas. If they're both the same speed, use the smaller hard disk for the OS and larger one for saved data.
