Say you have two drives with two partitions each, all fat, none hidden.
DOS and it's gui's will assign the drive letters to each primary partition
first: primary on master (c:)(hda1), primary slave (d:)(hdb1), secondary
master (e:)(hda2), secondary slave (f:)(hdb2) And the cdrom comes last. If
you have two ide ribbons, and hard drives on those, then the primary
partition on the secondary master comes before the secondary partition on
the primary master... Okay, primary partions first, secondary
second. Now, whether its master, master, slave, slave or master, slave,
master, slave, this I am uncertain.
Confused yet? Let's play master and servant!
