gabbman Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 My parts are finally wearing out on this 6yr old beauty of a desktop, and the CDROM doesn't always read files. (It's been cleaned with cdrom cleaner). So in the meantime I would like to make my CD-RW /dev/hdc the primary reading device so when I'm urpmi or Mandrake update and it asks to insert a cd, it defaults to the /dev/hdc.

DragonMage Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Well.. you have to do it physically I'm afraid. Change the jumpers at your CDRW to master and your old CDROM to slave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabbman Posted November 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Thanks, I was afraid of that. Oh well time to go shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarissi Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 I always keep my burner as Master. However, if I were to have both CD and DVD burners, the DVD burner would be Master. As it is with this Chaintech mobo, I am running my DVD burner in USB 2.0, but only in windows. Temporary solution, until I can find a burner that this mobo likes.
