You should have them on seperate IDE channels if you are going to burn on the fly. Either way though, I would always set the burner to master and the reader to slave. Cable select only enters into it, if you only have one drive in your PC.

i have this ribbon the end connected to the mother board, the other connected to the top dvd-rom and the otehr in teh middle slot i put in for cdrw.

-the ribbon cable has 3 slot.

if this is that the way to do copy on the fly, how would u set up to make it seprate

I mean you need a seperate cable running to each one. ;) For CDs you probably could get away with having both of them on the same channel though. Anyways, why not give it a shot. Set the reader as slave and the writer as master.

Should be able to have a HDD as primary master, the DVDRom as primary slave and the CDRW as sec master.

PCI cards and optical drives as a rule don't tend to get on that well together. If you do buy something like the above then your best bet would probably to put your HDD's on it.
