I'm looking to install a hard drive in My older Dell Dimension 8250 PC. The existing drive is getting noisy and it will be a great chance to clean the machine up a bit and improve it's performance.( For $50 for a western digital HD I thought this unit worth it as it has served me well) Anyway my cousin is going to help me and I want to be prepared for the switch. He said we will leave the existing drive in and then once the new drive is formatted and has an OS we will start switching over my material. The hard drive from Newegg didn't come with cables so should I presume I need a power cable and an IEDE cable. I'm not sure if this motherboard has a second
EIDE input for the second drive or if I will need one of those jumper type cables. Sorry for rambling but I'm just hoping to keep this from becoming a computer beating, they bite. Any tips would be great.
