May 12, 200620 yr 2.HDD and combo drive need different IDE-channelsYes!Never put your burner and your main HD on the same IDE port (data cable).CheersThis is a stupid question... Why?I have my main HD and my CD-RW drive on the first IDE cable and a second HD and my DVD+-RW drive on the second cable... No problems of any kind have occurred. (I have two burners because my DVD drive has problems burning CDs sometimes... DVDs burn fine.)
May 12, 200620 yr Author well i havent always had problems with burning discs....its just that it wont write to my friends discs at all now... and the buffer takes a lot of time to fill up for my discs or at times the burning just gets stuck in te middle .....i'll try the jumper thing and let u knowThx

This could be one of those URBAN MYTHS jd

May 13, 200620 yr This is why I let the computer detect the drives always, same problems now as back in days of the 486 .
May 13, 200620 yr If you have 1 HDD and 1 CD/DVD drive then they should be put on seperate ide channels, but if you have a combination then you should ideally put the HDD as masters and CD/DVD drives as slaves eg IDE0 : 1 HDD 1 CD/DVDIDE1 : 1 HDD 1 CD/DVD
