Hi there,
I was thinking of installing an inexpensive second hard drive on my old Gateway just to free up space for programs on the original drive. I've put in memory and video cards before but never a hard drive. I was just wondering if I could get some clarification on installing it before I spend the money on the new drive.
So basically, you get an IDE drive (do I need a cable, or does the cable come with it?) set it to "slave" and fit it into the hard drive rack... then I'm a little lost as to how it's cabled.... And I'm assuming one of the aux power connectors from the PSU will work? I'd appreciate any explanations you all could give. Thanks.
