Determining your computer’s configuration

Once you have located the IDE channels, determine the configuration of
the IDE/ATAPI devices that are connected to your computer. Steps 2a
through 2c show some possible ways that your computer might be
configured.

The hard drive is usually connected to the primary IDE channel. If the hard
drive is the only IDE device connected, the secondary IDE channel will be
unused, as shown in the illustration below. With this configuration,
connect the Zip drive to the secondary IDE channel as the master device.
