Hi,
I have just ordered the bits for a new PC, but am a bit confused as what to do for my IDE configuration, i will have:
1* CD RW
1* DVD RW
1* SATA Hard Drive
i read the following in a guide:
How should i connect the above situation? If i connect both oprical drives under the same IDE connector (1 master and 1 slave) then will i only get sound through 1 device?Of course it is perfectly acceptable to connect a CD-ROM as Primary-Slave or a HDD as Secondary-Master or Secondary-Slave, but Primary-Master must be a HDD as it is the boot device.
As i will have both IDE channels free, would it be better practice to have each optical drive on a separate IDE channel?
Also what happens about the Primary one not being the hard drive (as i am using SATA) for booting up?
