Ya there are only one IDE port on Intel boards but u can connect two drives on a IDE portjugnu_009 said:But modern motherboards have only one IDE connector. So either CD Rom or HDD can be connected at a time. So is there any other solution
sam9s said:There is only one IDE connector but the cable has two junctions. so you can make your HDD, Primary Master and your ROM drive as Primary Slave. You can connect a HDD and a ROM, two HDDs or two ROMs with a single IDE cable, which ever combination suits you.
