Just got a new mobo and computer its a microatx motherboard from gigabyte with only 1 IDE slot...so it can support up to 2 IDE devices. Thats fine because I only have an IDE Hard drive and dvd drive. But my IDE Cables cannot reach both.... they are coming up short Ideas?
well you will need to get a longer one like this BTW: if your HDD is ATA66k, ATA100 or ATA133, you should get an IDE cable with 80 connectors CD / DVD drive are fine on an old ATA33 cable because a CD / DVD are much slower than HDDs & both cables work perfectly well on either cable, and if you want good airflow you should get a round cable like i posted i usually buy stuff from misco or novatech [ot]if you get 1 from misco use the 3 day delivery option and 9 times out of 10 it will arrive the next day or in 2 working days[/ot]
