Hi Guys!
Ive been trying to upgrade my mums CD Rom with a CD-R/DVD rom and have run into some interesting things.
I accidentally broke the IDE cable to connect the new CD-R/DVD rom
The interesting thing is that my mums computer was sooooo slow to load when the CD Rom was connected, but now its only got the power cable connected not the IDE cable - the computer is now 100 times faster. Could someone explain why this has made a huge difference to the computer speed. The IDE cable was connected as :
mainboard > HDD (Slave) > CDROM (Master).
When i get the new cable should i connect the CDROM as slave to preserve the increase in speed?
Thanks for any help guys!
