I've come across this previously, but had no particular interest in taking note of it at the time.

What is the preferred method of installing a CD drive and CD burner to optimize CD copying? Should both be plugged into the same IDE connector on the motherboard or is it preferable to seperate them? Which is slave, which is master?

And of course, an explanation of this would be appreciated to alleviate my mental deficiency in this matter <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">
