Question Need Advise on installing drives

Hi All!!

Im going to be building my PC very soon, my question is how should i install the hard drive and CDrom drive. I have a ABIT KT7A-RAID board that is XP ready and it has 4 IDE inputs. 3 and 4 are the red ones for the RAID or the Ultra ATA-100 im not doing a RAID setup only one 30gig 7200RPM hard drive. The board has the HTP 370 RAID controller on board. Do i put the HDD on IDE 3 and make it the master and the CDrom on IDE 1 and make it the master?

Thank's all for your time!!!

Nemises....

Put the hard drive on IDE1 or IDE3 as the Master and the CD-ROM on IDE2 as the master.
