PRI MAST: Harddrive
PRI SLAV: Cdrom

SEC MAST: Burner
SEC SLAV

Thats how I would do it. Also make sure to check that DMA is enabled for your CD drives.

You have the opposite of what i wrote: you have your CDROM as SECONDARY MASTER where i have it as PRIMARY SLAVE. If you go with the way I have stated above, there are two ways of setting the jumpers:

MASTER/SLAVE TECHNIQUE
Set your Harddrive as a MASTER
Set your CDROM as a SLAVE
Connect these two in any way you want on one of the IDE cables


Set your CD BURNER as MASTER (actually it doesnt matter much cuz its the only device on the cable but for completeness you might as well)
Connect the CD BURNER in anyway onto the SECOND IDE cable.

CABLE SELECT TECHNIQUE
Set your HDD, CDROM and CD BURNER as CABLE SELECT (often denoted CS). Now you have to be careful. This is how an IDE cable looks (note the scale)
[MOBO]=======================[S]=====[M]
With all your devices jumpered as CABLE SELECT, take one of your cables and connect the harddrive to the [M] slot and the CDROM drive to the [S] slot. Connect the [MOBO] plug to the motherboard (IDE0 or IDE1)

For the other cable, connect your CD BURNER to the [M] slot (again, it doesnt matter for this one but for completeness sake). Connect the [MOBO] plug to the motherboatd (IDE1 or IDE2).
