help me with these IDE ports

[grab_grab_the_haddock]

im trying out a new burning app - feurio, and it gives me the following message when i fire it up:

"Warning: You're using two IDE-devices (D: [2, 0, 0] PIONEER - DVD-ROM DVD-116 and E: [2, 1, 0] MITSUMI - CR-48X9TE), that are connected to the same IDE-port.

THIS CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS! PARTICULARY WHEN USING TWO IDE-CD-WRITERS AT THE SAME IDE-PORT WILL HARDLY WORK!"


Now, clone cd gives me similar warnings, and i cant make copies of discs on the fly because of this crap. So how do i change it? i reckon its just a simple case of moving a couple of jumpers, and ive had a look inside my case but hell its all just a mess of wires to me. anyone know any good sites which might show me how to do this? or anyone who can give me some tips here? any more info u need please ask.
cheers.

Perhaps your drives are set to "cable select" try setting them to the standard "master/slave" set up....

Hope this helps.

Later

Edit: Damn, sorta missed you're point.....well do what they said. LOL
If you have problems down the line with stuff like this again it MAY be due to cable select. I've had that happen before. But yup their totally correct......I had a D: HD on the same line as a 8x CDRW and I'd get failed burns every time I tried to burn from D: to the writer.....even at 1x....

Your hard drive will be run off the primary IDE port, put one of the optical drives on there with it. You can't expect to be able to burn on the fly transferring info both ways on a single line. If one of them shares an IDE with the C: drive, you will be able to do it.

ding! ding! cheapprick takes the round! yeah.... it CAN be done actually, you're just likely to have either constant problems or just problems here and there.... so yeah, make sure one is slave to your master on the primary connection..... and the other is master or slave on the secondary and you will not have those problems.

ive done it before. if u want to try, burn sloooooowly.

it's because two cd-dvd readers/writers on the same line cant work at the same time.

Those warnings sound weird to me. I have a CD-RW master and a DVD-ROM slave on the same IDE cable working just fine.

They can, but they swap off.....almost like cutting the line transfer speed in half....

Odd though since mine would die every time @1x

Prolly cuz A) it was a P1 166mhz machine... B) the HD was a oooooold ass drive.....we're talking before UDMA C) the CPU couldn't handle swapping between both devices while burning.....no DMA support on the mobo....I've also tried 52x CDROM to 8x CDR on it.....slave master secondary IDE....worked but failed half way through it.
