Correct cabling/jumper settings for IDE drives

Hi,
    I have the blue end of the cable plugged into the motherboard and the black end plugged into the hard drive. Both optical drives are using a 40-wire cable plugged into the motherboard's secondary IDE connector. My DVD drive is at the very end of that cable while the CD-Rom is in the middle. I'm using a third ribbon cable to connect my floppy drive to the motherboard's floppy disk drive connector. It has no middle plug like the others. Jumpers for both optical drives are set to slave, while the hard drive jumper is set to master. The floppy drive doesn't seem to have a jumper.





Do you see any problems with my setup? Are optical drives always set as slaves? If you only have one hard drive, should it be set as a master? Do hard drives always utilize the 80-wire ribbon cable? Do optical drives always use the 40-wire version? What about a motherboard's primary IDE connector versus secondary IDE connector?


Please help.


Thanks!


I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
