yep, it doesn't matter. of course, if either one is all you have, set it to master. whichever one you use most i'd say put to 'master'

Whichever device will be WRITING during a cd to cd copy process (without going to hard disk) should be master.
Otherwise, it usually does not matter.

I had the exact opposite and it worked fine.

My CD-R is master, my DVD-ROM is slave. Works just fine.
