[QUOTE="sluzniak, post: 419315, member: 15228"] Cable select means that the hardware will determine what is the primary and secondary CD/DVD drive based off where it is connected on the IDE cable. I believe that most optical drives that ship today ship with cable select enabled. If not there is a small little jumper on the back of the CD drive. If you have any doubt as to if its set right look the manual that came with the drive. and it should say how to change it. [/QUOTE]
