connected to DVD rom? I have a P4 machine. When i connect the ide cable from the motherboard to the HDD (Taken from an old computer) by the middle connector (master) leaving the other end free, the bios is not detecting the HDD. Same result even if i connect the ide cable to HDD by the extreme end leaving the intermediate connector free.
But when i connect the intermediate end of the Ide to HDD and the extreme end to a DVD rom then hey presto! bios is detecting the HDD. Can any one explain this. Thanx in advance.
