Where would the primary HD > that is currently plugged in there go at that point? Yes, plug it into the primary (1st) IDE controller. Make it master/slave; make the hard disk master and the cd slave. Each IDE channel can support up to 2 drives. When you go from one disk to two, you need to change the jumper settings on the drive to reflect its new status. Check your hard disk guide for how to reset the jumpers.
