Can someone please tell me how to setup my hard drive, cdrom, and cdrw on the IDE channels. I am a little confused - There are primary and secondary ATA-100 IDE channels, and just plain primary and secondary IDE channels. MY hard drive is IMB 40 gig 7200 rpm, the cdrom is generic and the CDRW is plextor 16/10/40.
What is the correct setup up as far as which one is primary(secondary) and on what channel?

thanks
