 yes, you should be fine.....If you have a CD-RW then put that as the master on the secondary IDE cable and the &nbsp;hard drive as the slave, this will be better for the CD-RW's performance. If you only have a DVD-ROM or CD-ROM then it doesn't matter too much what order you put things in, the hard disk should probably be the master as it is faster than an optical drive.<br />
<br />
You want to make sure your power supply is about 400w because it would be two much if it was 300w<br />
But just to be on the safe side keep the disks on seperate cables, you'll get better performance &nbsp;as well if they aren't on the same cable.<br />
<br />
ps. I'm only giving you option wither or not if you want to make you're cd-rw as the master... but if you're going to put a os.. it is best to make that master as well<br />
<br />
good luck!<br />

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
