Doesnt matter.

Maybe you are asking which should be the boot drive, that's a different
question.

Ummm... , what do you mean by "primary" and "secondary"?
Primary IDE channel and secondary IDE channels?
Master and Slave?
OS and data?
Whaaaat?

Yes, correct.....which should be the boot drive?

Doesnt matter.

And, again....which should be the boot drive...wouldn't that also be the
master drive....OR the Primary hard drive?
So....my question was not clear.....apparently you knew what I meant.

Not necessarily. There is no such thing as a master drive

....OR the Primary hard drive?

Not either.

So....my question was not clear.....

It was rather clueless, yes.

apparently you knew what I meant.

And 'apparently' you don't need an answer.

Yes, correct.....which should be the boot drive?

Whatever is convenient.

Generally best to have the newest largest drive as the boot drive, so the WD.
