Hello mv311, I see that your Pata drive is configured as a slave. You should configure it as the Master on the primary Ide channel, same goes for your CD/RW drive. They should be jumpered as Master and placed on the end of thier ribbon cable. The hard drive on the Primary Channel and the CD drive on the Secondary Channel. It may or may not have an effect on your performance. I've seen some systems it had no effect on and others that simply didn't like that configuration.
