Default cd drives


Hello

Is it possible to place two cd drives (cdrom & cdrw) on the same channel?

Sata drive - boot drive
Ide 0 - hd
Ide 1 - cdrom

Thanks

I assume the above is your current configuration?
I also assume it is:
IDE 1-0: hd
IDE 1-1: cd-rom

Most motherboards will have a different coloured IDE connector or labelled cd, if not assume it is the IDE numbered 1. You can indeed connect both cd drives on the same IDE cable, I have it setup this way right now.
