Hey I have a mobo that only has sata ports and only have 2 pata hdds that I need to put in it! I went out and got 2 connectors to do that and I can only get one to read. As soon as I try to hook up the other one the screen says that no hdd is found. Anyone have a clue?
try going to "computer management" and initializing them. this worked for me when "my computer" didn't show my new HDD however that was a sata to sata connection so best of luck.
I had it jumpered master and the other slave but I took the jumper off the master and it did the same thing
Both of them were connected with the connectors. The board has 7 sata ports and 1 pata which I have the 2 optical drives connected to. As long as I don't connect the other one every thing works and as soon as I try to connect the the other one nothing.
