I would make the HD a master on the 2nd channel with the CD rom, but
remember, it won;t be as fast as the other 2 due to the CD rom.. Whatever's
slowest on the chain will make everything as slow.  It will work fine, just
not as fast as the other 2...

Subject: [PCBUILD] Hard Drives, Three?


> Hello All,
>
> I have two 40 Gig hard drives on the primary channel IDE cable. I also
have an additional 40 Gig not being used. Could I use this one also on the
secondary cable with my cd-rw? If so, how shall I configure this? HD as
master and cd-rw as slave or vice-versa? Would I be able to burn cd-r's
using the secondary HD as download storage? TIA
