About CD-R and CD-RW configuration, if everybody suggest that CD-RW should be Secondary (Master or Slave depending of the CD-R's configuration), no consensus exist for the CD-R. Should it be Primary Slave or Secondary Master ? If Primary Slave is the best way for burning CD from the CD-R, however having the CD-R on the same channel as the HD may slow the latter.. That is the question? since the HD is always in use and its speed a very important factor for the general speed of the computer, Can we know how slow (approximately) is the HD with a slave  CD-R 52X UDMA 33 and (for exemple) I have the last HD  Maxtor DiamondMax Plus60 40.0 Go ( both will have the same speed or what) ? Somebody could explain why ?? Thanks
