Subject: IDE slave / master?
Original Message Date: 04-May-02 @ 11:14 PM - IDE slave / master?
I am assuming that the OS drive should be the slave? I have one 20 gig and one IDE CDR on the same buss and figured that the hard drive should be the master?
the way theyre positioned in my case would make the CD have to be down at the bottom (where the 3.5 bays are) and the HD at the top
I dont get it
Does it matter as far as the cable goes? Or can I set the CDR to master?
this is NOT the audio drive.

So is this how i should configure my system?
IDE 1 master: OS hard drive
IDE 2 master: Audio Hard drive
IDE 2 slave : CDR drive
any ideas?

IDE 1 slave: CDR drive
IDE 2 master: Audio Hard drive

It would also be helpful if you could give us the specs of your machine in terms of the HDDs, CDR and IDE bus etc.
