All,
Quick question....
Normally when I install a machine I tend to put 2 IDE disks on the same
channel, and the ATAPI CDROM on another channel.
However Im getting a new machine in a day or two which will end up with
3 HDs and an ATAPI CDROM in it. So a simple (I hope) question before I
start: whats the best way to install a CD and HD on the same
IDE channel? That is, if I make the CD the slave will all work or do I
need to do it the other way around? (I remember something about this a
few months back but cant recall what it was in the context of).
Forewarned is forearmed :)
Paul
