Wow, 2 things I didn't know here.

First, dont put a hard drive and cd-rom or burner on the same IDE cable becuase of speed issues.

Second, dont put a cd-rom and cd-burner on the same IDE because of reading and writing at the same time....

So like, where should you put that cd-rw then??

I have 2 hard drives, a cd-rom, and a cd-rw. I have the 2 hard drives on one cable and the cd-rom's on the other. Does this mean I just have to put up with taking a chance on buffer underun or should I switch some things around?

Thanks
