Hey Guys, ive asked around for this problem..couldnt get a proper solution.
this is how my setup is at the moment:
----
Primary Master - 40GB (OS Installed)
Primary Slave - LiteON DVD-RW
Secondary Master - 200GB HD (data)
Secondary Slave - 80GB HD (data)
---
Now..few questions...
1) Does this setup at all downgrade burning/hd performance? i.e is it ok for my DVD-RW to be on Slave?
2) I burn mainly from the 200GB to the DVD-RW. should they be on the same cable or is it ok for them to be on diff IDE channels?
3) Im getting this "no secondary conductor 80 installed." at startup but everything works fine and my ide devices are all dectected and working, does that mean anything?
4) I got some advice to replace my 40-pin ide cable that is currently at my secondary ide channel with a 80-pin ide cable..only problem is after i put the 80-pin there...my PC wont detect the secondary devices at all and i pulled so hard to get the 80-pin connector out of my hd that the entire cable head came off...nonetheless. so i went back to putting the 40-pin ide and it works fine. what could be the problem? should i use an 80pin for both ide channels since my primary channel is using an 80-pin?
Thanks in advance guys
