Currently my IDE settings are as follows:
Primary Slave - DVD drive
Secondary Master - HDD
I need to swap these two, or at least make my hdd Primary Master. i have an ASUS A9RP laptop, is anyone able to tell me how i'd go about doing this? it would be easier doing this to a desktop computer, but i'm not sure with my laptop.
please help me ASAP, apreciate it. _________________

How is it effecting your computing experience?
How did you find out?
On a regular PC you:
Open up the case.
Switch the cords that are connected to the CD/HDD ONLY! leave the motherboard/motherboard cables alone
i need to do it to my laptop, not a desktop computer. i'm not sure where the ide channels or jumpers are on my mother board (LAPTOP). a desktop computer's much easier.
you don't need to worry about how it's affecting me either. _________________
