you will have to open your system and disconnect/connect cables manually.

1st IDE Channel HD=OK (master)
1st IDE Channel DVD= second port (slave)

FDC=disable
Onboard Parallel=disable

At boot press the bios boot selector and boot from your dvd drive.

Open your case and plug your dvd to the second port of 1st ide channel, the same cable for your hd drive, behind of the dvd there´s a jumper, you need set the jumper like slave

Quote:

MS, MA, DS, 0, or M = Master or Device 0. The drive is the first drive to be used on the cable/channel (connected to the end connector on an IDE cable).

SL, PK, 1, or S = Slave or Device 1. The drive is the second drive to be used on the cable/channel (connected to the middle connector on an IDE cable).

CS, CSEL = Cable Select. The drive can be automatically set up by a capable system

you need put the jumper in the middle (the example is for cable select)

In some cases Master can also be located on the farther left or right as well. Just look at your installation guide or check the appropriate settings on the manufacturer's website. By default it is usually located in the middle though.

Hey I still don't how to do this because I'm still a noob. So i thought about it what if i get a new video card will that help and another hard drive. i will give you two links to both websites.

Video Card: XFX GeForce 8600 GT XXX 256MB PCIe - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=28&name=Video-Cards.

Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB Hard Drive - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=8&name=Hard-Drives

Tell me if its better than having the 6100 and can you tell me if it will have my chipset since its NVIDIA.
I will have my other Hard Drive plus this one, so can you tell me if its worth it.
Thanks

6100 is not supported so,...The WD is a great HD but first, try to install leopard in your ide drive, open your case and just do it... it´s no difficult buddy !!

i still dont get it i opened my case and checked in there but couldn't find the same thing like in the image. I could ask the person at the store to do it for me. If you can tell me what i should tell him.

look behind the drive and look for the jumper, take it out and put in the middle or where ever it says master, then turn on your system, its as simple as that.
