Do you have to go into the bios and change master and slave now? Second, does the original IDE drive require a jumper even with a second SATA drive?

[HazChemld50]

Thanks very much. Just had to replace main hard drive, but was not sure of connectors on new SATA drive. PC now happily formatting the new disc. Keep up the good work! :-)

[Kmanrules987]

@ruubz1 Try Buying an adapter for it. Like IDE to SATA. look at newegg .com (its the best webiste for hard to find electronics.)

I have a ptgd-vx motherboard. I like to know which is the best graphic card itsupports, for gaming. I tried google but no luck, please help.

[technicdesigner]

just wondering do u do any more tips on anything but hard drives, i mean i clicked on more from expert village but every title has got the word hard drive or SATA in it........ :(

[geekpeptalk]

how can i hook up a 3rd hard drive to my pc?

[sgtbush]

just a couple of pointers-- u may have to go into your bios settings to make sure your secondary sata port on the motherboard is open-- i had too do that and then go start-- run-- and type in diskmgmt.msc and partition and format the new hard drive-- hope this helps

[AsowmeTutorials]

can i pata for replacing my sata?

[Aur0rah]

my sata has a place for old power inn should i connect both power cables?

[DaBossk]

whats an ATA hard drive? does that refer to both PATA and SATA?

[applesauceprod]

ATA is PATA

it uses that long cable instead of the small one that is used by SATA

[brokenmoon65]

do you need to buy a sata wire and screws?because my didn't come with any,just the hard drive.

[infernalcross]

if it's -OEM , yes, so unless you buy Retail one, you gotta guy the cables and screws (if you dont have any)

[SE578]

thanx, now I can get my old files back from my other computer :)

[fredbair]

do you have to set any jumpers on the hard drives and dvd recorder when you use the data cables i want to build my own but the new motherboards have different ribbon connections i will be using a asus p5q pro motherboard without a floppy drive this time so how do i put on the data cables from hard drive to dvd recorder and to the motherboard

[megamansiempre]

good

[Y0kotaZ]

do i really need 2 hardrives or is just one drive fine?

[Messerschmitt262a2a]

thhe new i think was a st3500630as or similar drive with 500gbytes... some people need it but i never had a pc with more than one drive... i don´t need it!

[Rugerman205]

Well it all depends IF you have an older PC that didn't have alot of HDD space like in MY case my DELL which I got in 2004 "only" has 40GB for storage and rather than me remove my existing HDD with Media,Windows XP etc. I'm going to add a 500GB Seagate HDD to my desktop for storage and use the factory 40GB for my OS. Sidenote I've only for 1.57Gigs of free space on my HDD after CD ripping and ZUNE purchases I'm just outta room!

[petemod94]

no jumper settings required???

[Messerschmitt262a2a]

my new sata drive hasn´t any jumper... there is only one to choose if sata 150 or sata 300

[Bodraw333]

and which one should you choose?

[Messerschmitt262a2a]

if your motherboard has sata 2 than you should choose sata 2... if it just has sata 1 , you should jump it to sata 1

[Bodraw333]

Ok thanks ALOT for your help that should help thanks.
