- how have u physically connected the 80 con cable to both drives . normal way would be
blue -> m/b , grey -> optical , black -> hdd right ?
my cable isnt that long and hdd and cdrom too far apart so i had to reverse it
blue -> dvd , grey -> hdd , black -> m/b .
and with this i get the 80 conductor missing error even with an 80 con cable
plus hdd works only in udma 2 setting .
i am unable to use ide controller 1 koz drives connected to it keeps disappearing so i have only ide controller 2 to attach both drives and i want hdd to work with udma 5 .
- if i get a pci ide controller , would i still be able to boot normally with a bootable cd by the boot sequence in bios ? or will the cdrom detect only after i load the os
