Default Optimum IDE Settings

Hi,
My current set up is 3 hard drives plus a cd-rom. The operating system and
one disk for storage is connected to the primary channel.The second channel
is set-up as Master = CD-Rom
Slave = Hard Disk for storage
I am replacing the CD-Rom for a combination drive CD-DVD is it best to have
this set as the Master or Slave ?
Regards
Chris

I would put the hard drive as the master on the secondary IDE and the
combo CD-DVD drive as slave.

Good luck
