Just recently I built a computer with all ew parts except for an old HD that I took out of my old computer. Well I just got a WD 74GB 10,000 RPM Raptor, and when I tried to get them both running it wouldnt detect my old HD.
Here are the specs for everthing:
Motherboard: Abit Fatal1y AN8
Video Card: Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce 6600GT NX66T
CPU: Newcastle AMD Athlon 64 3800+
Old HD: Western Digital 40gb 7200PRM
New HD: Western Digital 74gb 10,000RPM Raptor
The new HD uses Sata which is a direct connection to my Motherboard as well as the IDE. I checked the jumpers on the old one and it is set to Slave. I went into the CMOS and it wont detect the old one at all. Is this because IDE and SATA dont work together?
