I'm trying to add a second harddrive to my computer and i'm running into some issues. I'm wondering if anyone could see what i'm doing wrong.
First of all, the old hd is a 80gig wd and the second is a 120 gig wd, going into the motherboard in my signature.
i have my old hardrive hooked up to the primary ide connection. the cable only has one connection so this is all that's hooked up to it. the jumpers are set to the far left (meaning nothing, it's the neutral spot).
connected to the secondary ide from the motherboard is my other harddrive and my cdrw drive. i've switched the jumpers from the hd to be master (w/ slave present) and the cdrw to slave and the cdrw registers in the bios but the hd doesnt. thinking it was a fluke i switched the cdrw to master and the hd to slave and the cdrw still registers but the hd doen't again.
what am i doing wrong? i even go into computer management to see if the other drive is registered but nothing is there... any suggestions to getting this up and running?
