Hello all,
Probably a dumb question, but can you run an IDE HDD as master and a Sata as slave? I had a PC die and I when I rebuild I Wanted to do a fresh install on an old IDE driver of XP and then later just add the Sata drive as a slave and access my old info. Will that work if I set the IDE jumpers to master and SATA to slave, or will I need to do something in BIOS?
Also, if running both hard drives, does it really use much extra power? I have a good PSU, but I've always just used 1 drive.
Thanks for any help
