I have never found any difference in speed whether set as Master or Slave,
but if you really want to try, you'll need two 80wire ribbon cables, the
first will connect the C: drive to IDE0 on the motherboard and the second
will connect the second hard drive to IDE1 on the motherboard. Then check
the jumpers on the rear of the drives to ensure both are set as Master.
