SATA HDD help for a newbie (also graphic card help)
Righty ho fellas i just found this forum and it seems from what i've read that everyone here is pretty dam helpful when it comes to all things PC.
This is my first time building a PC and i've come to a couple of problems.
Firstly it took me bloody ages till i realised why all the guides on the net that i found had HDD's looking very differeent to mine as they wern't SATA but my problem now consists of how to attach the thing. Anyone know any good graphic guides? In particular i'm finding it hard understanding the cables that i need to attach to it. Think i've got the power figured out but i don't know what the data one looks like (if that makes any sense).
This is my MOBO: DFI LanParty UT RDX200CF-DR Crossfire (Socket 939) Motherboard (MB-017-DF)
and this is the SATA HDD: Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C 250GB SATA-II 8MB Cache
Also do i need to do anything with Jumper Pins??
Thanks in advance...
