Hi guys!
I have a Compaq Presario (model 5710). I have just purchased a CD burner (manufacturer BUSLINK). I am at a stand still as to how to connect it with the IDE cable. My Presario came with a CDrom drive, Floppy disk drive and a zip drive. When I installed the CD burner, I noticed that I have no place to plug the IDE cable...............now what??? A friend of mine claims that there is some kind of IDE cable that I can purchase and "piggyback" the new cable off the CDrom drive. Is that true and what is it called. If not, then what do I need to do.
