Have 80GB IDE Hard Disk &amp; want to install additional SATA HD as a second HD.<br />Since I have few slot in mobo, which one should I use? Should I use sata3/4 slot since it will be my slave HD?<br />Or I can use sata1/2 too?<br /><br />2. Do I need to do any setup/driver to install sata HD as my 2nd HD? I read somewhere when I google about RAID etc, but I don&#39;t need to do that, do I? (Sorry, I&#39;m no expert in this area)<br /><br />3. My mobo only have 1 IDE slot which allowed me to install 2 IDE drive. So currently I put my IDE HD as master &amp; DVD-RW as secondary. So, since I have another IDE DVD drive which I want to install, how can I do so?<br /><br />4. Given that I already install SATA HD, together with my current HD &amp; DVD RW (which currently set as 1st &amp; 2nd in boot configuration), in which order should I set the SATA HD?In case I should, should it come as 2nd boot or 3r boot?<br /><br /><br />Info, In case needed:<br />Mobo : Asus P5GC-MX/1333<br />Processor : Dual Core E2180<br />IDE Drive : WD 80GB HD, LG DVDRW <br />Memory : 1GB Corsair DDR2<br /><br /><br />Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me.Sorry for the noob question asked here.<br />Because this is my first time trying to get it done ALL by muself. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /> ern43 Technical Support Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:04:02 +0800
