    Should I put it inline with CD player in PC or hard drive? or in it's own IDE. If I only have 2 IDE and hard drive is on one and CD is on other which is preferred for new burner

    If you feel you have to have 2 cd-roms, install the burner as a master and the cdrom on the same IDE as a slave. That's the way it was explained to me and it worked pretty good for a while.

    yep..thats correct. really no need for. you dont want to copy from cd rom to another. Better to copy the cd to your harrd drive and then copy to cdrw

    I always slave the cdrom to the hard drive and let the burner have a clear ide. I've never had any problems burning from either the cdrom or the harddrive.

    Ok, this was a first. I loaded the Burner, another 512 Ram Simm, and a cheapo sound card. One at a time and am running with no problems. First time that has ever happened seems something always messes up. Now I need to find a new video board. Waiting on the Ultimate computer to make me some recommendations

    Yes, AGP ready. I had bought a few other things for this bare bones computer I have been using and set aside tonight to install all of it. Bought an inexpensive sound card so I could hook up some speakers and sub woofer, optical mouse (which doesn't work yet, loaded software, it lites up but still doesn't move mouse, any ideas?) more ram
