CD Rom - CD RW

[coffee4me]

Can somebody tell me how connect a CD Rom to my CD Writer in my computer ? It seems pretty handy to me to be able to copy a CD from the CD Rom drive straight into the CD RW drive.

CD-RW Master ? CD Rom slave ? Any special settings/software needed ? Any special attention to something I might overlook ?

Put them on different channels, like one on primary and one on secondary. You will need software, like Nero for example.

I already have 2 hard drives on 1 channel.....
Only a CD RW on the other channel.

How about moving the second HD to the other IDE channel. Set both HDs as master on each channel and have each writer as the slave drive on each channel. That should work. I have a DVD ROM set up as slave on the primary IDE and both a DVD writer and a combo on the secondary IDE.

Just leave the hard drive's the way they are,On the second channel set the burner as master and the cd rom as slave.

If both the CD drives are on the same channel, won't one have to stop and wait for the other one to recieve data versus if both the CD drives are on different channels, it would be a 'constant flow'?

Same thing with the hard drives...
