    alrighty guys...i just got done building my first computer ever here, and it only had one ide port on it..currently being used by the HD. so i put a PCI IDE controller card in it, and the drives will be recognized by it, but when i go to back up my 360 games, the samsung drive will not work. but if i hook it up to the open ide connector on the HDs cable it works perfectly fine. i dont know whats up with it. any help would be great.
    thanks
    chris

    its a biostar tfore 550. i kinda didnt care at the time when i bought it that it had only one ide channel becuase i figured i could use those ide to sata adapters and use the drives that way becuase it has 4 sata ports on it, but i could never get them to work right.
