Hi,

I am trying to add 3rd hard drive (500 GB) to my computer. I added IDE PCI card and installed software but, it is not detecting my 3rd hard drive. Is there any thing I have to do with jumper settings? or am I missing any procedures....?

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You mean PCI Card drivers?

Member Avatar for jbennet

yes, the drivers for the PCI IDE card

Member Avatar for sivamvs

Yes. I did installed driver for PCI IDE card. In SCSI Drivers, it's showing me the ATA/133 IDE PCI card working successfully.

But the drive is not showing.

what have you got the jumpers set to

Member Avatar for sivamvs

Master drive had 7 and 8 pins (jumper set), Slave has nothing and the 3rd drive has nothing.

Member Avatar for bobbyraw

the 3rd drive should be set to master as it is the only one on that channel/cable.
