OK basically I would like to install a second hard drive in my computer. However, I opened my computer to see if I have enough plugs and stuff but got a bit confused. I believe there are 3 IDE sockets (if that's what they're called). Two of them are right next to each other, and one is slightly higher, dunno why. The floppy drive is connected to the higher one, and the existing hard drive is connected to one of the other ones. However, what confuses me most is that the last one is connected to the CD-RW drive, but then the DVD-ROM drive appears to be connected to that drive by the same kind of wire. So there are two CD drives connected in series to one IDE socket. This is as far as I can see anyhow, it's all a bit jumbled and squashed together.
Anyway, do my eyes decieve me, or are the two CD drives really connected to each other? And what I would like to know most is, where in all this do I connect a second hard drive? I don't appear to have anywhere to connect one, and I don't have any spare power plugs by the look of it either. All I know is that there is definitely space to physically put one.
Can someone tell me how to install a second hard drive, thank's in advance!
