You can only have two devices on one IDE port I assume you have two IDE ports on your MBD, so you can have a maximum of 4 devices. If you want more you need a car to give you extra IDE ports, which are available from most computer suppliers e.g. RLSupplies (who are who I use) Doing a minor hijack on this thread - and that has nothing to do with cars (!) - I've had a continuing computer crash problem that I've cured by moving my hard drive from IDE 0 to IDE 1, having done things like change the cable, etc without success. Any idea why this should clear the problem? Dodgy IDE0 on motherboard? |
