=09I've always tried to figure out how I was going to be using the system=
=2E  If=20
its a CD Burner I am moving around, I leave my primary CD data source (Ha=
rd=20
drive for me) as Primary master and the Burner as Secondary master so tha=
t=20
they both get data preference for fewer coasters.  Now with a second CD d=
rive=20
(DVD?)  the question would be are you moving more data from CD to a new C=
D or=20
from CD to hard drive.  Whatever the answer is, put it on the other IDE p=
ort=20
(ie if you copy a lot of CD's, "on the fly" make the DVD drive primary sl=
ave)=20
again so that you can utilize both IDE channels to their full potential.

=09I almost never copy " on the fly" so I have a 2 hds on my primary and =
2 CDs=20
on my secondary, with the burner as the master.
