I just bought a new 80 GB Ultra ATA Seagate Barracuda 7200.10. I was going to use it as my primary slave but it is not detected by my system. Not only that, when i plug it in my computer refuses to boot. I tried to use it as primary master also, but still the same result. However, my old HDD works fine when i use it alone.
In the Installation summary it is written that i should use the 80-conductor Ultra ATA cable for optimal performance. However my old hard disk uses IDE (40-conductor), Hitachi Deskstar 80 GB. Can this be the problem? Should i go for Ultra ATA? Will my old HDD be compatible with Ultra ATA cable?
I know that's a lot of question, but hoping to get a solution.
Here's my config (i know it's ancient) :
Asus P4V533-MX
Intel P4 2 Ghz
256 (266 mhz) RAM
80 GB Hitachi Deskstar
