heyia,

i have bought a new computer

and i want to use both my harddisks and both my cd drives.

how would i go with this?

my Master 1 (dvd-rw) uses IDE and my Slave 2 (cd-r) uses IDE.
my Master 2 (harddisk) uses S-ATA while my Slave 1 (harddisk) uses IDE.

i know that i must paralell connect them (or whatever its called ) but since i use S-ATA with IDE i dont know how...

here is a picture of my current connection. (the CD-R (slave 2)) is not connected.

also i have a problem: my IDE cables are too short to reach from the MASTER 1 to the SLAVE 1..

if anyone know what i need help with or know what i must do, that will be very much appreciated

Make sure your CD drives are on one IDE channel and the HDs on the other. So, you should have a master and slave HD on the primary IDE, and master and slave cd on the secondary. If you don't fo this, you will find your HD speed drops massively (because it can only work as fast as the slowest device on the channel).

Just stick the two CD drives on one IDE channel (master/slave) and your IDE hard drive on the 2nd IDE channel all on its own (set to master). Then your SATA drive can go where-ever you want (no master/slave issues with SATA).

The world is full of idiots. But an unusually high percentage seem to appear on my TV screen.

For IDE, you'll have better response during dual interaction with the harddrives if both aren't on the same channel.
just noticed you said one was a sata, so nvm. 2 cdroms on one channel, hdd on the other.

personally, i still think scsi rules it all, especially when it comes to cdrom drives.
