I'd set the 30GB as Primary Master if it contains the OS

Set the CDRW as Primary Slave

Set the 250GB as Secondary Master formatted in NTFS

Set the CDROM as Secondary Slave

You can't go back to FAT32 once a drive has been formatted in NTFS unless you re-format it Parmo.



Notice:
Parmo can you please stick to this thread with regard to this issue rather than make a new post, thanks.
