Master/Slave Config

| If I Tell U I May Have To Kill U 2003-02-19, 11:23 pm |
| Well, trying to put a pc together from scratch.
I have a standard CD burner and a separate DVD player.
I have 2 IDE slots. The first IDE goes to my hard drive, so that leaves one
IDE slot for the CD/DVD players.
I'm assuming that I have to set the CD as master, and the DVD as slave?
That is the way I have it right now, I've set the jumper on the DVD player
as a slave, and the CD jumper is set to master.
Is this correct?
Thanks for your help.

| That is usually accepted as the best method. Some newer OS's are particular
and want the CDROM as a Master or Slave (D: (why even do?)). This also gives
slightly better transfers across the IDE channel, rather than to controller
and up the same chain (rush hour).

| Thanks! I thought that was the case, maybe I thought about it too long and
talked myself into thinking it was wrong....
Thanks again!

| It's actually probably better to put the DVD as a primary slave with the
hard drive. This will work better if doing a CD to CD copy (here using
the DVD drive a as CD drive).
But what you did will work. The burner should generally be the
secondary master.
