    It's not so much about the cables as about the jumpers on the devices.

    If you set the jumpers to Master on the HDD and to Slave on the DVD it doesn't matter how you connect the cable.

    The pre assigned Master/Slave on the cable only matters, if you set the Jumpers on BOTH devices to CS (Cable Select)
