    Protecting a slaved IDE hard drive

    i've been researching the pin allocations and i have tried pin #23, which did'nt work. the bios failed to detect my drive. i'll try another spare cable and snip #28.(i'm experimenting with old 40 conductor cables i have laying around)

    Protecting a slaved IDE hard drive

    actually, it'll be a slaved drive, so booting is not an issue.making the files read only will only "half" protect the drive. it can still be written to,which i don't want.

    Protecting a slaved IDE hard drive

    i've read/heard that by cutting a wire on my ide cable it may be possible to create a read only drive on my Windows machine. possible? if not, any other methods available? tia
