| Post subject: | Installing two HDD drives on one pc. |
One of my friends wants to add to his SATA HDD and older IDE HDD just to have more memory on his system. I installed them both but the BIOS only finds the SATA one and doesn't detect the IDE HDD. What's the problem and how can I solve it  I also plugged on that mobo an older DVD drive as well ( it has the ide interface too and it's not recognised by the BIOS too) THX in advance. EDIT: i forgot to mention that both the added hdd and dvd drives are on the same cable. |

You will need to change the jumpers at the rear of the drive to set up Master/Slave assignment. Ie HDD should be Master and DVD should be set to slave. |

If you have space you should be able to add the DVD drive as a master on another IDE cable too. |
