Best Configuration?

[Frank Lapalombella]

Hello,
I have a cd12ri. My system currently has:
Primary Master > HDD
Secondary Master > CD-ROM

What would be the best place for the CD-RW?

Thanks

If you use an ATAPI (IDE) CD-RW drive, make sure it's on a different IDE channel than the hard drive. Most current PCs come with two IDE channels--primary and secondary--built into the motherboard. Each channel supports two IDE devices on a single cable: a master and a slave. Hard drives should always be on the primary channel, and ATAPI devices (if any) should be on the secondary channel.
