What drives on what chain

[Roost426]

Ok if I have a DVD Burner, a normal CD-RW drive and a HD whats the best config? In other words which 2 should be on the same ide cable and which one should be seperate.

I'd go for this:

Primary IDE channel:
Master - Hard drive

Secondary IDE channel:
Master - DVD writer
Slave - CD-RW

I always have my HDD on a seperate Channel the my CD-RW. But since now I go SATA, it doesn't matter.

If you burn on the Fly having both the CD-RW and CD-ROM on the same Channel are going to slow it down.

What Bill said works out great.
