Hi

I had the following setup
        Creative CDRW 4224E
        Samsung 8x DVD
        40Gig Harddrive (IBM, ATA 100)
        Asus A7V motherboard (This motherboard has 2 IDe channels for ATA 100 
and
also the        normal 2 IDE channels. You are able to connect 8 devices 
(2devices
x 4 cannels)
        Windows 2000 Pro

The hard drive was connected to the primary ATA 100 IDE channel. The DVD was
connected to the Normal (ATA66??) Secondary IDE channel as Master. The CDR
was connected to the Normal (ATA66??) Primary IDE channel as Master.
Everything worked A1!!

I changed my motherboard to a MSI 6330 (K7T Pro 2-A) It only has an ATA100
controller onboard. My connections changed as follows:
        Hard drive as Master on Primary with 80 wire Cable
        DVD as Slave on Primary with 40 wire cable
        CDR as Master on Secondary with 40 wire cable
Now my CDR and DVD is very slow. Some programs failed to install. (eg Delphi
5 Pro complained about slow network due to high traffic. Only problem is
that I am not connected to a network, it is a local drive.

1) What could be the problem?
2) More importantly: What could be a solution?

Thanx
