Hello, my computer is rather old. Running Windows 8.1 though. However, I have an old LG CD-RW drive in my tower, as well as a DVD-RW. The CD drive makes noises when there are CDs in it, but the problem comes in is the fact... drives are set as old IDE. And the HDD is a Sata 3GB/s HDD (It's only 500GB).
Complicating things is the fact the cable is daisy chained between the DVD and CD drives... Basically I dunno if I can remove the CD Drive without disabling the DVD in the process. Also I don't have the cover plate for that slot.
How would I disable the old CD drive? And further more, would it have an effect on my boot speeds?
