Hello,
What do the terms mean concretely:
- master mode,
- slave mode?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.

Hello,
The master mode means that it will be the one chosen first, the one that will be launched at the start.
The slave mode means that it will not be launched by default and that you have to choose it to launch it.
I hope I have answered your question.

Hello, so this means that the hard drive in master mode is prioritized over the one in slave mode.

Not necessarily.
It is on the hard drive itself that you need to specify which one will be the master and which one will be the slave.

Apparently, there are 4 women for every 1 man!
Who took my share? :/

Yes, on each hard drive, you have a small diagram with jumpers to set depending on the choice of master or slave.

Generally, on a motherboard, you have 2 IDE controllers: primary and secondary.
For master and slave modes, a hard drive with a system partition (OS) will be connected (IDE of course, as SATA is also available and is different) to the primary controller as master, and if it's a 2-entry IDE cable, the other device should be connected as slave (another hard drive or a DVD drive, for example).
This is a physical operation for choosing the master/slave mode. Indeed, you need to place the jumper according to the example illustrated on the support.

On your hard drive, at the back, there are little pins like a mini grid, with a small black plastic piece plugged on top; depending on how it is positioned, your PC determines which disk to boot from, meaning it identifies which of the two disks is the master (the one from which it starts, therefore containing the operating system) and which is the slave (which can still have an operating system but will not be launched at startup)!
