I've had good luck keeping the ATA hard drives on one IDE bus (usually primary) and relegating CDs, DVDs and CD-Rs to the secondary. That's the smartest way to handle it. CD drives will only slow down your hard drives. The whole master/slave thing is overrated (at least as far as IDE drives is concerned).
