Set your IDE harddisk to 'cable select', it's the same jumper that does
master/slave but it varies from brand on how to do it.
Then you can use the BIOS setting to make the CF either master or secondary
PS: post a screen capture of your BIOS where it detects the harddisk so we
can see which one is recognised as master
