Is this the correct way to add a new HDD to my system ??
There is a CD-RW, a DVD-ROM and a 40 GB SATA HDD. I want to add another 80 GB HDD to it. The new one also has to be SATA, instead of new SATA2, right folks ??
I think the current master/slave configuration in my system is as I have attached the pic :
My HDD is primary master.
CD-RW is secondary master.
DVD-ROM is secondary slave.
So I think by attaching the new HDD to the old one as primary slave should be right. Am I correct.
I can see the masters only get direct power source. Is it so ??
And as there is a open point/pin, don't know exactly what the end of the bus wire is called, by attaching that point to new HDD should get the job done, right ??
Is BISO configuration needed or will my ASUS MB & XP will recognise the change automatically ?
Please tell me if I am wrong.
