can you run ata/133 and sata/150 at the same time in one system? the sata as a primary and the ata/133 as the secondary? I have a 200Gb sata HDD, but my life is so busy now with christmas coming up and all i cant install it

Need Assistance!

I have a machine with a main harddrive with Win98 OS. I also have a spare harddrive which was cleared and now is used purely for storage.
I now would like to add a third for additional storage.
I have two CD ROMS installed, one of which doesn't work and was not used anyway..

1. Can I replace the non functioning CD ROM with the third harddrive?
2. How do I configure it Hardware wise with regards to ribbon cables and jumpers?
3. How do program it to show up and function as a third drive?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Rick

You do exactly what you would do on the primary channel set it to either master or slave and do the opposite for your cdrom and connect it. EASY:-|
