[TimisoaraKill]

Hi , i had a old CDROM and i replaced the thing with a Liteon 40X12X48 Burner + a 16X Toshiba DVD . My motherboard is not Raid and so i hawe only 2 entry for HDD/CD/DVD , etc .
In one entry i hawe my Master 60 GB HDD and i need to know how to set the New CDRW / DVD in the second entry .
The CDRW is UDMA 100 and DVD is UDMA 66 i think .
So wich one i sould put Master and wich Slave and what UDMA settings i need to use or how excatly i can fix this setup to hawe best results?

Thx for your time and help .

IDE1:
- Hard drive - master
- DVD drive - slave

IDE2:
- CDRW - master

You should keep your two cdroms off of the same IDE channel, because it works better for copying cds.

I have it set as the following:

IDE 1 Master: HD1
IDE 1 Slave: HD2
IDE 2 Master: CD-RW
IDE 2 Slave: DVD-ROM

It works fine too that way.

You say that is better to plug DVD as slave to HDD and CDRW as secondary master for good quality copy from DVD to CDRW ,...yes i need the best setup especialy for this , making copyes from DVD to CDRW .
Any other opinions pls ?

YES. The two drives you intend to copy between should be on separate channels for best performance.
