Hello,
I am refuging some parts outta an older computer. It suddenly came to me I could use the smaller Hardrive for a slave. Only thing is. My primary Hardrive is going to be SATA. and the one I have here is either ATA100 or ATA133 i dunno which. How will these be hooked up and is it possible at all?

What about your other IDE channel ? At a guess, attaching the ATA 100/133 to the SATA drive/cable as a slave would slow down SATA, not 100% sure though, I'm sure someone will correct this if wrong.

I think i just found out it's a crappy old ATA66... is it even worth putting in?
woowoo
u can use ide and sata simotaneously...and sata is a different cable then ide so it wouldnt slow it down right? if u need the extra space why not put it in
Its extra space, why not?Originally posted by BiG_aL@6 January 2004 - 22:09

yeh I was just thinking of puting all the installation files on the shitty HD but I dunno. It's outta a dead computer and it may be dead aswell.
You might as well try.
can I format it once it is the brand new computer. and will it start into windows 98 even if it is my slave?
