Slave of the Master

I installed that Pioneer in my 900mhz and it reads kinda slow..
It is the only drive in the tower so far.....How should I have installed it...Slave??? Master??? etc..... Should it matter if my other faster computer has XP Pro.....Should I install XP Pro on my 900..... It takes DVD Shrink about 2 hours to complete on the 900 and about 30-40 minutes on my 2.4.....Is that the normal difference? I am going to get another Lite-on to put in the old one someday...That drive seems to work good for reading for me...... Any help is appreciated..........

Also..I have an old 450mhz that a friend wants to give me.....
Can I do anything with it? Burner......XP Pro.....???? Not sure if I should give him 50 bucks....100 bucks.....etc..etc..What's it worth.... Hard Drive is about 14 gigs or something around there..... THe local computer place can give me the parts for a barebones 1.5 for about $189 then a hard drive and I am set..... They told me that they would beat Tiger just to get my business...Since Tiger sent me the wrong drive....Not Once.....BUT TWICE......That's why I got the pioneer....hehe...Worked out in the long run.... Thanx all

BG is on a distinguished road
Set the hard drive on the 1st ide port as "master"

Set the Pioneer on the 2nd ide port as "master"

You might try XP Pro on the 900....
You may find that it might slow it down even more...

The time difference will be noticed......
Do both computers have the same amount/speed of memory?

This will also effect it... And are the hard drives the same speed in both computers?
