    DVD and CDRW first installation and Master/Slave settings

    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.
    ECS K7S5A - AXP 1800 - 512MB PC2100 RAM - ATI AIW R8500 - 80GB WD SE - SB LIVE VALUE - LITE-ON 24X10X40 CDRW - AOPEN 12X DVDROM - AL641 SPEAKERS

    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 .

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