Right now inside my computer I have these drives: 200GB Western Digital HDD HP DVD Writer DVD630c Generic DVD-ROM I just bought a new 250GB Hitachi HDD. All the drives are IDE so I need to set them up Primary/Secondary. So, what would be the best configuration?
Primary Master- 200GB Drive Primary Slave- 250GB Drive Secondary Master- DVD Secondary Slave- DVD (the DVDs can be switched easily, it doesnt really matter whatr order they are in)
yep do what master said. however make sure you are using a 80 ribbon for your hds otherwise you wont get the speed.
yep 80 ribbon, i just used the ribbon that came with the harddrive since i didnt exactly have an extra one on hand thx for the help fellaz ^_^ EDIT: one more question, where can i buy the harddrive screws, the fine threaded small ones, cuz i know you should attach the hdd by 4 screws but it only came with 2 :blink:
kool. i was originally gonna buy the deal they had with the 300gb hdd for $90, but by the time i got to the store they were already sold out. :|
