23610 2001-11-04 08:58:00 hi. If I have a harddrive, cdrom, and internal ide zip drive (and floppy drive) how should i set up the primary slave options etc? It is currently set with the h/d as primary master. cdrom as primary slave, secondary master disable, and ARPM (cant remember those letters they might be wrong) which i think is the zip as the secondary slave.

If I want the Cd-rom as the secondary master, do I have to change any Jumper settings?

thanx guys

You will have to alter the jumpers on the CD to make it a master, and you will have to go into the bios and enable the secondry master.

You could disable the primary slave in the bios, if you want to save it from searching.
