My hard disk won't work if another one isn't plugged on the same ide cable.
I've tried all posibilities switching the jumpers, and the slots in the ide cable.
Nothing worked.
How is it like that?

Have you tried A diffrent IDE port?
Re: My hard disk won't work if another one isn't plugged on the same ide cable.
Is it IDE? Did you set the Master/Slave jumpers correctly? Also, did you enable auto-detect in the BIOS? If the BIOS is manually set, you'll have to tell the BIOS what's connected.

Some drives (Western Digital I think, possibly others too) have a special setting for "Single". This is different from master, where there must be a slave drive too. Check the manufacturers web site.
