Hello could some one tell me a little about how i can connect 2 HDs to one IDE cable is this possible? is it also possible to connect a single cble to a CD drive and one HD.

I know this is simple but im having real probs.

Thanks Natt
 
Yes to both of the above questions, the things that you need to worry about are if the drives are setup as Secondary, Master and so on.

You will have to change the Jumpers on the back of the drives. The boot drive should be the master, and the second should be the slave. If you can't fix it in 20 minutes call someone who can.
