I am trying to use my old HD as storage. Its was an IDE type. I bought a IDE controller card, cause my MOBO does not have any IDE connection. At first I had set it up with my IDE DVD Burner, and all went well. Now I added the HD as a slave ( no jumper ) and bios does not see it...but the DVD is still working. The HD is connected to the grey connector which is usually used as a slave. Aside from the grey connector, I have another IDE cable, where all 3 connectors are black. How does one know which of those to use as a slave? just pick the middle One? But the gist of this post is to get the bios to recognize my ide HD.
