If you place the DVD rom on the same cable as the hard drive it will most likely slow down the hard drive because the DVD drive does not work with as fast a DMA mode as the hard drive. The best configuration would be to get a PCI ATA adapter for the hard drive and use the motherboard plug for the DVD rom drive. wrote: Hi All I have just purchased a DVD Burner.

just avoid putting a CD/DVD ROM drive on the same IDE channel as a HDD. I
have two Hard drives, a DVD and a CDRW. The DVD and CDRW are on the secondary channel and the two hard drives are on the primary IDE channel. This I believe is a good configuration for these four devices without going the way of the PCI card for extra IDE channels. Works fine for me no problems or slow down. CD burner is happy burnning from all drives without buffer underruns. J wrote in message ... Hi All I have just purchased a DVD Burner. I have the following config..
