So you are running two optical drives and one hard drive?

Should be simple...really.

Set one optical drive to master, one to slave and connect that thing to the IDE2 channel on the motherboard.

Set the HD to Master, OR there is a stand alone setting for many, if not MOST hard drives that are going to be running solo. Usually, it's just the jumper turned sideways to short out the connection. Then, you just connect that mug to the IDE1 channel and you should rock and roll.

What motherboard is it in the Dell 8200? See if you can't get an owners or technical manual off google or something. That would help if you are having issues.
