    Ok I'm building a computer for the first time and I have a quick question.

    2 IDE connectors on mobo
    2 IDE cables, each with connections for two drives
    1 DVD rom drive
    1 Hard Drive

    Whats the best way of connecting them. Which should be master and which should be slave, or should they both be master if they are on separate cables?


    Any help would be great
