Erik,
The floppy drive will be connected to the connector
that is not the same size as the other two. It will be
on that connector by itself.
The hard drive should be attached to primary IDE
connector. This is the "1st" on the connectors that
look the same and should be marked something like IDE1
or PRIMARY. It should be connected as a single drive
with no master.
The CDROM should be attached to the secondary IDE
connector as a Master and the CD/RW should also be
attached to the same connector as the Slave. The
Master/Slave is done on 1 ribbon cable. Hope that
helps.
