Hooking up DVD burner and DVD Rom?

[dennykyser]

I want to run through my steps to double check what I have done, both my DVD RW and DVD rom came with NO instructions.

I hooked the DVD RW (sony) up in the top bay, the DVD rom in the second. These came out of the boxes set at DVD RW as master, DVD rom as Slave so I left them. I hooked the ribbon cable (not sure the technical name) to the top DVD rw drive and the same conecter in the middle of the conector to the second DVD rom then plugged the other end into the mobo.

Hooked the two power cables up and thats it so far. One of the Dvd's came with an audio cable but have not done anything with it, again there were no instructions, should I be concerned about this little audio wire? Is there anything I have done wrong or need to do yet?

Cant test the system until I get the corect video card in.

Well... personally, I prefer to have the DVD reader drive, and the DVD burner drive on 2 seperate IDE Cables... Otherwise, your going from 1 cable, down to the mobo, through the proc, ram, probably HDD, then back through the mobo, back up the same cable to a different drive... which most of the time is fine, but it can cause delays!
