My perference:<br />
bootable HD master on pri IDE<br />
2nd HD as slave on Pri<br />
DVD RW as master on Sec. IDE<br />
If you decide to go with another CDROM it will work nicely as a slave to your DVD RW<br />

When you are writing from your HD to your RW it will work much better. (writing from your bootable HD i mean)<br />

My Win98SE PC has 2 EIDE channels each capable of supporting 2 devices.<br />
<br />
I have 2x IBM HDD's, (15G and 20G), and 1 CD R/RW/DVD combination drive (Ricoh).<br />
<br />
DO I put the 2 HDD's on the same channel, one master one slave and the CD R/RW/DVD on it's own on the other channel. &nbsp;---- OR put one HDD on each<br />
EIDE channel, both as masters and the CD R/RW/DVD as a slave. &nbsp;Which is the most efficient arrangement ?<br />
