Q: I used a WD 40GB hard drive and now I've added a 80GB Seagate IDE hard drive. I want to install two hard drives on the computer, how can I install two hard drives?
The answer of the Triple series: Before installing the hard drive, you should first select a better performance on both hard drives as the system boot drive, set its jumper mode to master mode, and then set the jumper mode for another hard drive to slave mode (or set master on the second motherboard IDE interface) )。 After the hard drive is installed, you can connect its power and data cable. Note the order when connecting to the 80pin data cable. The colors of the various plugs on some 80pin data lines are different. Blue plug (marked with SYSTEM) This end is used to connect to the motherboard's IDE slots, the black plug (marked with master) is used to connect the primary hard drive, and the gray plug (labeled SLAVE) is used to connect from the hard drive, and these orders are not mistaken. After booting into the BIOS, select IDE HDD AUTO detection. The motherboard will now be able to detect all of the two IDE ports connected devices.
