Hello. I have Win 2000 installed, and I just bought another HD. Now I have 2 HDs and a CDRom Device. The problem is that Windows 2000 says that I can't have more than 2 IDE devices on Windows2000 without configuring it, but it doesn't say how you configure it. So I can't install my new HD... Can you help me? Could you tell me of any site that teaches how to install a 3rd IDE device on my Win 2000?

Thanks!

All you should have to do is Rescan Disks in Disk Mgmt. Start-> Programs-> Admin Tools-> Computer Mgmt-> Disk Mgmt. Select Action rescan disks. That should work... Matt Wray
