When there is only one hard drive (disk) in the computer, the jumper(s) on the back of the disk (next to the power socket) should be set to Master or Stand Alone. When there are two disks, one must be designed Master & the other Slave or the system will not boot or only one disk will be seen.

The second drive.....
Hard Drive configuration is used to define the Slave and master Hard Drive. When we are attaching more than one hard drive the configuration is used. Configuration is done by jumper setting which is available in back side of hard drive...1st two pins for master hard drive and last pins are slave..

The hard drive controllers are SATA, IDE, and EIDE. The hard drive configuration tells the computer what drive controller to use and how to store the information and where to store the information.
Please give the example of what incorrect configuration you had in mind. My second question is why would you use an Incorrect Configuration in the first place?
In a Windows operating system, an incorrect drive configuration usually indicates a physical error. The error could be part of the drive itself or in the actual mechanism.
It would be best to configure the CD drive as the Master and have the hard drive set to slave. This configuration normally allows the CD drive to function when hard drive is not bootable on a single channel IDE.
