If I understand your question correctly, you should re-arrange your cdrom/hard
drive assignment. You might have to change the BIOS settings as well
(depending upon whether you use the "auto-detect" feature or specify what
drive is in which slot). I found through hard-won experience that some brands
of IDE CDrom drives do not like being the master drive. When they are
re-programmed as the slave drive, they work fine. /dev/hdc is the master
position of the secondary IDE bus. As far as the /dev/hdd goes, it should work
fine. You should not have to do anything with it.
