I recently installed a new CD/DVD in my desktop connected up the ide and power but i noticed that a previously installed CD-ROM drive also had a wire running from the player directly to the sound card. What is the reason for this wire when the sound still works on the new player without this wire?

I currently have two HD's in my computer. The master is a 40g and the secondary is a 10g. I want to replace the 10g with a 250g and use that as the master. Can I install the 250g as the secondary, copy the files from the 40g to it then make the 250g the master? Will the system boot as normal or do I have to reinstall the OS on the new drive? I hope that explains what I want to do. In my head it sounds simple, but then again so do most of the voices I hear in my head.

I must update my desktop and I'm getting SO confused. Gateway? Dell? Emachines? I assume good things about all of these and then get the horror stories.

So, what brands are actually worth investing in?
