IDE setup

Tue Jul 22, 2003 5:46 pm

Whats the best way to set up if you want 2 CD drives ie 1 rewriter and 1 standard CD rom as well as your hard drive

I currently have the 2 CDs as master and slave on IDE2 and the hard drive on the primary as master.

Is this the best setup?

I believe that it is a good idea to have your source and destination drives on separate IDE controllers. If you copy directly from a CD to a CD-R, it would be a good idea to move your CD drive to the primary slave location.
