Master and slave does not apply to scsi drives
Master and Slave configuration is necessary for motherboard in order to choose right disk to boot from.
the hard drive should be set to master...
SATA and IDE are operated on different buses, with different controllers. A SATA drive is not considered a "master" or a "slave"; it has a channel all to itself. If the IDE drive is by itself on the controller, it should be set as Master.
if u have winxp on the master hd, just boot ur computer from a 98boot disk and install win98 on the slave. the computer should automatically configure itself for dual boot.

master if the ide cable has a single drive connection. if the ide cable has the master and slave connection. then set the drive to master with slave.
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.)
Primary Master Primary Slave Secondary Master Secondary Slave Primary or Secondary will depend on which cable are you using to connect the drive. Master or Slave will depend on the drive's jumper configuration.
Some programs can just be copied from one drive to the other. However, most programs will not work this way. You will probably have to uninstall the program from your master drive and then install it on your slave drive using the program's installation disk.
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 the CD drive shares an IDE channel with a hard drive, make the hard drive the master and the CD drive the slave.
We generally use the jumpers to set the disk drives as master or slave.
