Its not difficult.. Looking from the back of the drives, you will see next to the ribbon connector (to the left usually) these pins

From left to right,

1 is usually nothing (why they include the pins I dunno)
2 is Cable Select
3 is Slave
4 is Master

So your DVD rom is probably set on both pins at the far right, so move it to the left 1 to set to slave.

Hopefully your HD is the same pin configuration, if not look on the top of the drive there will be a guide showing you how to set to master.


Oh yeah, or you could set both to master.

Have the HD on the primary channel
and the DVD on the secondary channel.

HD's and Optical Drives, cause poor performance issues when sharing the same ribbon.

Invest in another ribbon (if you have the motherboard box there maybe one in there) and keep them seperate you will notice a huge performance boost.
