Thank you for your accuracy.  My skepticism paid off only because you stepped in.  Safe advice is better than no advice and I will take the lesson learned.

Oh wait, I didn't give advice to take any action.  Now that my lesson has been provided to me I am going to use it if and when I open up my computer case... through research on motherboard connections.  I must learn.

<start quote /asdfEliasdf> Is it possible for a DVD drive to be a slave? It's not a hard drive. <end quote /asdfEliasdf>

<start quote /patio> an Optical drive...or any drive can be set to either master...or slave... <end quote /patio>
The more the better, as long as there is no malice nor poor planning.
