TheMajor PowerQuest / Opera Messages 10,176 Location Netherlands Mar 17, 2005 #23 Yes. Primary and Secondary are the same. You can use any of them for any device. You might have to change your boot settings in your BIOS though, because your HD will be connected to the other IDE channel.

OP OP R ReinisFMF Baseband Member Messages 32 Mar 17, 2005 #24 Can I do the following: Connect HD to Secondary IDE Master and CD-RW to Secondary IDE Slave?
OP OP R ReinisFMF Baseband Member Messages 32 Mar 18, 2005 #26 I swapped IDE controllers and now my HD works at ~ 26 MB/s.
