Section 2. Installing Your PlexCombo 

PlexCombo 20/10/40-12A Installation and Users Manual  

 

 

A  Hard disks connected as Master and 

Slave devices on primary IDE port; 
CD-ROM connected as Master 
device on secondary IDE port. 

Remove the CD-ROM drive, change 
it to Slave, and re-connect it to the 
secondary IDE port. 
 
Set the PlexCombo’s mode jumper 
to Master, and connect the 
PlexCombo as Master device to the 
secondary IDE port. 
 

 

 
NOTE: Configuration A can make it very difficult to write from the  
CD-ROM to the PlexCombo at 20X using “on-the-fly” copying. System 
configuration and performance will make a big difference. Depending on how 
fast the CD-ROM drive can stream data to the PlexCombo, it may not be fast 
enough to constantly have the buffer full. In this case, the buffer may become 
empty and a buffer underrun error may happen. With the BURN-Proof 
technology of your PlexCombo you could still make successful copies if you use 
software that supports BURN-Proof. (All software shipped with  
PlexCombo 20/10/40-12A drive retail kits supports BURN-Proof.) If you still have 
problems writing with this configuration, use the image writing method or record 
at lower speed for best results. We also recommend that DMA be enabled on 
your computer, if your system supports it.
