Third DVD CD Burner.......

I built my own computer , it has an Asus p4c 800-e deluxe mobo. I have one sata hard drive, one dvd drive attached as master to the end of the cable and a cd burner as slave to the other plug on the same cable. This cable with these two drives are attached to the primary ide. I want to attach a third drive, dvd burner on its own cable to the secondary ide.
My question is, how do I set the jumpers for these three drives?
Or is this even possible?
Thanks anyone ....... Dan

If the first two on the primary are working don't touch em.

The new drive should be master or cable select...

The other two work fine

The other two work fine. Their jumpers are on cable select and they are drive d and e so I assume that the new drive will auto pick up f.
I can change the letters though in xp disk manager.
Thanks for that info, I just have to wait on newegg now for delivery.
I had never done that before and just wasn't sure.
