Always have the NEWEST drive as master. But avoid master+slave if possible when you expect concurent access (which it does not sound like you do). If you have more than 2 IDE ports (such as two fast ones and two slow ones) put one drive on each of the two fast ones and hang the CD on the slow ones. (If your mobo won't support 4 you can get a cheap ide card for about $20). -- _________________________________________________ No I Don't Yahoo!
