does anyone know how to connect 3 hard drives? is it possible? i got a 20gb, 40gb, and a 90gb. 100 gb - i had this one for 2 years or somin 20 and 40 gb - i just found it in an old computer. i just wanna know how to make it into one big 160 gb....cuz my friend connected a whole bunch and made it 530 gb, just wanna know how to do that.
You can connect the - the first hard drive`s jumper should be on master the second 1 should be on slave and the third 1 on cable select or slave am not sure about that but try to connect the third one as cable select .
lol, i have no idea how to do any of that, can u tell me how? i just figured out how to change the jumpers, but do i make the 20 gb the master or the 100 gb? cuz i saw somewhere that it is better to make the smaller/slower HDD the master. another thing, how do i connect the other 2 HDD's? i mean with a cable or something? lol and another thing, the two old drives have windows 98 installed on it, what do i do about that?
Well which operation system are you gonna be using ? If you dont have any operation system on any of the hard drive for your computer the , than install an OS on the 40 gb and note that the hard drive should be on master and then the second hd better be the 100 gb put it on slave and the plug the power hd cable and IDE cable for the hd and the u got to use the IDE2 for the third hd and the jumper should be on cable select .
it was pretty hard lol. i got help form my dad.....i made the 100 gb the master with the 40 gb slave on IDE 1 and 20gb master with the cd burner slave on IDE 2. thanks alot though!!
