I am trying to setup the 3rd Hard Disk in my CPU. It doesn't seems to able detect my already formated hard disk. Is it possible to have 3 Hard Disk in 1 CPU? If so, how do should I go about it? Do I need to do anything with the Jumper on the Hard Disk?
Yes if they are PATA then on the primary cable make one that your os is on the master and the second set as slave. On the secondary cable make it a slave and your cd rom your master.
Hello, I think it can be done, but first I need to know what drives you already have installed (HDD, and Optical)? Also do both IDE cables have two connectors plus MB connection? Have you thought about putting the third in an external powered case with USB connection?
PATA and ATA are used interchangeably as opposed to something called SATA. lehatche's question is important, however. Besides the 3 hard drives do you have any other drives like CDROM or DVD?
Perhaps if you told us the make/model of the system or motherboard, and all of the attached hard disk and optical disks, we could be more specific.
