I worried about this... (Not enough...)
I have (only) two 5 in bays in this computer.
The burner is on the bottom and the CD-ROM is on the top.
Can I just "switch" their positions in the bays AND on the single CABLE.
I don't want to re-jumper them. The master is on the end
now... Can the Master be in the middle? "Some" hard drives
hate it when you try this... How about CD-RWs?
Thanks if advance, and I will start trying it as soon as I sign-off.
