[computer-tech-support: 7731] Re: Second Hard Drive Installation

You should set both the DVD drive and the IDE hard drive to Cable
Select. Both drives should have a diagram on the label showing the
position for Cable Select (CS) Master, or Slave. If you set both to
Cable Select the order will be determined by the position in the cable
that the drive is in. Shouldn't matter for this purpose. The one thing
that will matter is once you install the drive, make sure you go into
the BIOS and 1) verify all three drives show up and 2) that your boot
order shows you are booting off the SATA HD. Usually most BIOS
settings having a priority simply for "Hard Drives" and then there's a
sub-menu for Hard Drive Priority. Make sure the SATA drive is at the
top of the priority.
