    Question Change from IDE to SATA

     
    Some help please.

    I have only one hard drive in my system and it's on IDE1 (primary of course) and I have two DVD's, a R/W and ROM on IDE2. Now if I remove the IDE hard drive and install a SATA hard drive do I need to or should I move the DVD drives from IDE2 to IDE1?

    No, neither one will effect the other. They are supposed to do that.

    it would'nt hurt... but there would only be a difference when burning multiple dvds or gonig from 1 dvd to another, probobally not much though, the ide bandwidth is more than the speed of both drives put together
    Hey who turned sigs on?
