The exception to this rule in setting the IDE drive to Slave is if you're attaching it to another controller (different ribbon cable connected to a different spot on the motherboard), in which case if there is nothing else attached to that specific cable you can set it to Master. You can allocate out drives like the following:
Primary Master
Primary Slave
Secondary Master
Secondary Slave
Master and Slave you differentiate by the jumper settings, and Primary and Secondary refer to the IDE controllers. If you have nothing in the Secondary IDE controller you mind as well set any drive that goes into there as Master.
