If you install two IDE devices with different data transfer rates on the
same data cable, the data transfer rate of the faster IDE device will be
reduced to match the rate of the slower IDE device.
After installing a second IDE drive, you will need to run Setup to
confirm that the drive has been detected by the PC. Refer to "After
Installing an IDE Drive" on page 71.
In addition, a newly installed CD-ROM may require that you install an
appropriate device driver. Refer to your operating system
documentation for details. For information on how to obtain the latest
available drivers from HP, refer to the "HP BBS Library", on page 112.
