hi there fellow MSEs
Currently i have two hard drives and a CD/DVD drive in my desktop PC, thing is - im running out of space, can i add a 40gig disk (which i already have) to the spare slave on the CD drive ribbon? as long as i make cd drive master and the new 40gig a slave?
Happy new year and all that !

Hi
That's the way to do it, I think.
I've just looked at the handbook that came with my pc. It says I can fit 4 IDE devices - 2 masters and 2 slaves.
I think that the motherboard just treats hard drives and cd/dvd drives as the same things.

Yes that work, also see if you have onboard RAID as this may give you 4 more ports, my MB has both SATA and PATA, so when I wanted to add more disk space, I got myself a PATA - SATA which worked well.0
