Just wondered this, it's a dumb question but oh well:

Should my HD be the Primany IDE or Secondary, because I have it on second even though it says IDE1 on my board. (Not talking about master and slave, but primary and secondary as in cd vs HD) So my CD is Master Primary and HD is Master Secondary, should I switch them?

In most cases it is best to have to have your hardrive as primary master and the cd as secondary master. I would switch them.

I also agree with hugo59. The mobo always looks to the IDE1 first and then to the IDE2. You should always have your HD on IDE1.
