If they are on seperate channels, keep them both on master. If there on the same, then the Hdrive should be master and the optical on slave.

I agree with Potatoman, but would like to stress that seperate channels (cables) is the way to go. If you add another cd/dvd, add it as a slave to the cable that already has an optical drive.

Hang on a sec! That's a SATA drive, and SATA drives don't even support master/slave configuration! Do you have a SATA AND an IDE drive?
