And connect the dvd-rom as primary master, followed by the harddisk as primary slave. The dvd burner would be connected as secondary master? Something like that?
Both IDE channels (primary and secondary) connect through ATA100 cables?
I'd put the hard drive on its own channel and the DVD & CD on the other channel.
Then test to see if your errors go away. i.e test one error/problem at a time.
Finally, test that you can indeed burn utilizing the 2 devices on the same channel, but that does depend on the type of devices you have. That's a secondary issue.
If during install you're getting errors, that indicates a serious problem, and THAT problem is the one needing a fix.
