2 Hard drives, 2 CDRoms

As the topic says, I have 2 hard drives and 2 CDRoms, one is a burner.
I was just wondering what the best way to set it up
I have to IDE slots, both my harddrives are on 1 slot, meaning i would put the other CD roms on another. Is it a problem to have it like this, or is there a better solution.

Also, if anyone knows, there is a switch at the back, that has 115v and 230v, right now it is on the 115v. What is this switch, and what would it do to switch over to 230v ?

Thanks a lot for any info

That switch is to adapt it to European power systems, don't switch it over.

If you switch the power supply to 230v when it's plugged into a 115v circuit, the power supply will burn out. 115v general-use outlets is always standard in America and 230v general-use outlets is standard in Europe and some other continents.
