Just to clarify things i want to know if the setup ive got is correct or do i have to put the ide connections in a differant config??

If you have only 3 ide devices, I would have the boot drive as master and no slave on that channel. The second channel would have the DVD-ROM as master and the DVD burner as slave. The idea is to keep your boot drive from being slowed down by a CD or DVD drive. Sometimes the DVD burners don't like being slaves, so you might have to expirement. I don't know if this is the best way, but it works for me.
