I am having to reinstall the OS (Win XP) for various reasons. Here is my problem...Upon trying to reinstall I have to remove the ide card in order to install.
If I have to reinstall again is there a better way of connecting this so as not to have to remove the ide card. The ide card was in the second slot down from the video card or 5th from bottom and yes there is a spare slot between it and the video card.
MB...Shuttle AK35GT2 Processor...2.8GHZ Barton Ram...2-512 sticks
3 Hard Drives (ide) all with 8meg buffer
80 gig master
80 gig slave
200 gig Primary at ide card
CD-RW Drive Lite-On
CD-Rom Drive Lite-On
DVD-RW Drive Lite-On Secondary at Ide Card
1 Ide controller card.
What is the best way to connect all this for the best performance and NO lock-ups. Sometime back (January) I added the ide card, 3rd hard drive (200)Gig), and the dvd writer.
