Optical, Hard drive, and Master/Slave question.

[Jc Hawk]

I have just about everything done but before I install the os I have a question.
I am not sure if I have the Master and Slave set up correctly. I have One CD burner One DvD burner and my hard drive. I have one IDE cable from the MoBo that has 2 connectors for 2 devices. So each burner is connected by way of one IDE cable to the MoBo. I set the jumper on the CD drive to Slave thinking that the SATA connection to my hard drive would be master by default. I left the jumper on the DvD burner alone because the port wasn't labeled. I can correct if needed by trial and error I guess. So I went into my Bios and have the drives set up like this:


IDE Channel 0 Master NEC (DvD Burner)
IDE Channel 0 Slave Sony (CD Burner)
IDE Channel 1 Master None
IDE Channel 1 Slave None
IDE Channel 2 Master None
IDE Channel 3 Master SATA

The above is exactly as bios shows to be the current set up.

The Boot Sequence is FDD, CD rom, and finaly Hard Disk Drive.

Hope I haven't left anything out. Thanks in advance from a helpless noob.

That should be fine. It should work. Did you want to know anything specifically...

I just wanted to know if the setup is the proper set up. By the list I provided from the bios does it appear that the master and slave set up is correct.
