I need to add IDE hard drive to existing SCSI hard drive 1

nuteck · Dec 27, 2004

I have a DELL 411 with P II dual processors at 400Mhz. There is a SCSI drive exisitng with 10GB capacity. To gain additional hard disc space I am thinking of adding an IDE drive. Will it cause a conflict? Is is relatively easy to configure? Please do let me know

Thanks,

It should not be a problem adding one.
If you plan to keep the SCSI HD as the boot drive, then just make sure to configure it ahead of the IDE HD as a boot device in BIOS.
