IDE Issues

Most newer PC's have two IDE controllers.  The primary controller
is normally attached to the system's PCI bus, the secondary is 
attached to the much slower ISA bus.  Attach your primary hard 
disk to the primary controller. Each controller has two connections,
so you can chain a second hard disk off the primary controller.
CD-ROM drives are much slower, so attach them to the secondary
controller.
