Today i just got a new mobo graphics card cpu and ram. It all installed fine except the fact that i cant have my hard drive and cd drive plugged in at the same time >.<. I took pictures with my phone but they are not very good. This picture shows both the cords for the hard drive and the cd drive. The one on the left is the hard drive and the one on the right is the cd drive This (awful) picture shows where i can plug in the cd drive OR the harddrive. Please help!!
By the bottom photo, it only shows one IDE port and one floppy port. If it only has one IDE port and you have two IDE devices you need to put them both on one cable. Set the harddrive as master and the CD drive as slave by the jumpers on the back of the drives.
Sorry if i am a noob, but this is the only computer i have built without any help. How do i do that >.<
The blue connector in your hand in the photo plugs into the IDE port. One drive connects to the middle connector and one drive on the end connector. There is a connector on each cable for 2 drives.
