can I add a dvd movie player to my pc as a slave to the primary harddrive?
I am using a pc with windows xp home and I would like to add a movie player to my pc. The pc has a primary and a secondary plug in slots, master and slave. I am using AII accelerator. The secondary slot contains a cd reader(master) and a cd/rw(slave) which works. The primary has a 40 pin ribbon w/ 2 long connectors, one for the HDD the other for another device. The back of the dvd movie player has a jumper for slave, master and cable control. The last time I tried to connect this long ago I could not get the HDD to get the dvd movie player to work as a slave. I have used up all the ribbon ports and only have the HDD one left. I should install the software first, but is there something I am not doing like going into BIOS or like that to configure this drive? The back of the dvd player says these words and pins in this order>digital audio,analog audio,cable select, slave, master, 40 pin ied interface, dc input. Could I try the cable select? Thanks Brett
the 40 pin ribbon has 2 ends, connect the connector at the end of the ribbon to the DVD drive, and set its jumper to slave, and connect the other connector to your HDD and set its jumper to Master.
it is preferable that you give up one of your CDrom drives, and connect the DVD drive in its palce, because connecting a DVD drive to the same IDE bus with a HDD will slow down the HDD transfer rate. and the DVD drive can read also CDs, so why keep 2 CD drives ?
