What type of hard drive do you have to set a master and slave jumper for?
Some IDE drives have a master/slave jumper, but a significant number of IDE drives defaulted to a "cable select" setting where the drive would determine for itself whether it was the master or the slave by which of the two sockets on the cable it was plugged into.
What does a slave drive do?
On the older style ATA drives, now called PATA or simply IDE, each drive chain had two positions for drives. One was called the Master, and the other the Slave drive. The drives performed in exactly the same manner, and the only difference most people would notice was that the Master drive was given a drive letter before the slave drive. In short, a Slave drive does everything a Master drive does.

How to connect two hard drives and a dvdcdrw?
Check the motherboard. You can connect two drives to a single parallel cable. Most traditional motherboards have two IDE sockets and you can run a maximum of four drives. (one cable per socket, two drives per cable) but you need to configure the drives with jumpers as "primary" and "slave". Many of the newer motherboards have a "SATA" (Serial ATA) socket or some combination of SATA and IDE but you'd have to use a SATA drive with a SATA cable to use the SATA socket.
Which of the two drives should be the master the CD drive or the hard drive?
There is no requirement that one or the other is the Master or Slave, as long as one of them is (if they are on the same cable.)
If you have two hard drives how do you access the second drive?
I'm assuming your using Windows. You can see the drives by double clicking "My Computer" on your desktop. From there you can double click on the drives to see the contents. If you can't see the other drive, make sure its installed properly.
