If a CD drive and a hard drive are sharing the same data cable in a computer system what type of connection is the CD driving using Which of the two drives should be set to master Which to slave?
Both drives are using the same interface (IDE, SCSI, not SATA I or II because you can only connect one device to a SATA cable). If you have installed Operating system it's better to set the hard drive to Master, and the CD drive to slave. In that way your system will not ask the CD drive to boot up everytime when you start your computer. CD drive should be set to Master only when you are reinstalling/installing OS or you have repair it.
Which gives the proper sequence for installing master and slave id drives?
Mount the drives in the carrier connect the 40-pin cable to the drives set the drive at the end of the cable to master set the drive in the middle of the cable to slave install the drives in the computer and configure the drives
If a CD drive and a hard drive are sharing the same data cable in a computer system what type of connection is the CD drive using?
It is using the EIDE connection. The book says that if you have a hard drive and a CD that the hard drive should be the master and the CD will be the slave.

When two drives connect to the same data cable how does bios know which is the master and slave?

Difference between Master and Slave hard Drive?
When connecting to IDE drives (whether they be hard disk drives or optical drives) on the same cable, the computer needs to be able to tell them apart. When using a 40 wire IDE cable, you have to identify one drive as Master and the other as Slave. You do this by positioning the jumpers on the end of the drive according to the diagram on the drive itself. When using an 80 wire cable, set the jumpers on both drives to the 'cable select' position and their Master and Slave classifications will be determined by their position on the cable.
How many drives must be set to master in a PC with IDE drives on the same cable?
Only one master is connected to single IDE cable
What happens when two drives are connected to the same data cable connected to an IDE channel. How does BIOS know which drive controls the channel's?
There are jumpers on the drives that differentiate the master from the slave. If the jumpers aren't set correctly, the BIOS will not recognize them. In addition, some IDE ribbon cables are also labled Drive 0 (or Master) and Drive 1 (or Slave). If the jumpers are set correct, but the drives are plugged into the ribbon cable incorrectly, the computer will not recognize the drives.
When you install a SCSI drive should it be set to a master or to slave?
Master and slave does not apply to scsi drives
What should you do if your computer does not detect two optical drives simultaneously when the master slave jumper settings are ok?
Check the jumpers on the optical drives, play around with those. Check for compatibility with your OS, check the device manager, check for possible drivers needed although unlikely.
