heres the text of what my friend asked me i have no clue so i thought i would ask you knowledgeable people
<Johaan> Just so you get an idea of what I'm talking about here
<Johaan> I'm going to quickly describe the specs I'm setting up here.
<Johaan> P4 3.00Ghz 800 FSB
<Johaan> 4096 PC3200 Ram
<Johaan> 73GB 15k SCSI HDD
<Johaan> 250GB EIDE HDD
<Johaan> 52x32x52 CDRW
<Johaan> Sony DVD-R+R-RW+RW
<Johaan> Audigy 2 Plat. eX
<Johaan> The Vid card is still pending but I'm thinking I'll go with the FX5900
<Johaan> Now that basically describes what I'm trying to build here.
<Johaan> Now my question is
<Johaan> I'm installing everything on an 8KNXP Ultra Board
<Johaan> It has an integrated SCSI
<Johaan> And I intend to run XP from the SCSI drive.
<Johaan> And plan to use the 250GB EIDE drive for storage.
<Johaan> Now, I was installing the CDRW and it says that the jumper settings vary according to the EIDE connection.
<Johaan> I have 2 EIDE connectors in my board.
<Johaan> According to a friend
<Johaan> I should connect the 250 EIDE drive as a primary in 1 port
<Johaan> and the CDRW as a primary in port 2
<Johaan> and the DVDRW as a slave in port 2
<Johaan> thus leaving the EIDE drive alone.
<Johaan> Now what I don't understand is
<Johaan> how do I make my SCSI HDD my primary drive.
<Johaan> As I understand it, primaries and slaves correspond to EIDE connections.
<Johaan> SCSI is a whole different story
<Johaan> unless I'm mistaking
<Johaan> In which case my SCSI drive would have to be connected as a primary
<Johaan> my EIDE drive as a secondary
<Johaan> etc.
