    Hello. This may be a simple question to answer but I'm quite a newbie at building my own PCs so please bear with me.

    Can I attach a slave IDE hard drive to the same IDE cable that has the DVD burner set on the master? I can see the grey connector for slave but I'm wondering if this will work OK with my PC. Thanks..
