Can you disconnect one of your other drives for now? It seems to be the fastest way.

**Adagio** · January 18, 2003, 06:21

I can, but I have an (don't know what it's called in english) box where to easy put an HD in... and I might have to do this often (but can't let the 3rd HD stay in my computer)

**Skanky Burns** · January 18, 2003, 06:23

An English version of the m/b you got

As UR suggested, remove one other HD. Can you get the other HDs working, and the cd drives? If you need all 3 HDs, perhaps try removing one of the cd-roms.

If that doesn't work, let us know what the HD that you are having trouble with is.

Also, check to see if the jumper settings on your HDs are correct. One should be master, the other slave (per cable). Or set to CS (cable-select).

You mean a cage?

Anyway, since you will only have the 3rd HDD temporarily, why not just take the second one out, connect the third one, get your work done, then proceed from there?

I have now taken the cable from one of the cd-roms into the 3rd HD, and now it works... but since there's not much room in my cabine (is that the right word?), this is no good solution if I have to do this once every week or every two weeks. That's why the cage solution would make it much easier...

**Urban Ranger** · January 18, 2003, 06:49

Didn't you say you only have one of the HDD's temporarily? Where's the problem?

**Adagio** · January 18, 2003, 07:06

Yes, I only have one of the HD's temporarily...

The problem is: I have to have both MY HD's and MY cd's in the computer at the same time (all the time), but when my brother comes by (with his HD) I want to be able to set that HD to the computer as easy as possible (going through all the wires every week or two is annoying, and unnessesary, if I could get the problem fixed)

Okay, install a removable cage. That allows you to swap HDDs with ease.

In the manual, it says something about I have to get into fasttrack menu (using ctrl + f), but nothing happens, when I try to get into that menu...

Maybe you have to press those keys during your boot-Procedure

Tried that about 20000000+ times already

Check in the BIOS for an option regarding checking for ata100 (or something similar) drives. Enable it. Put one of the HDs on the 3rd cable and see if it detects it.

**Adagio** · January 18, 2003, 08:47

Couldn't find any option mentioning anything about ata

**MattHiggs** · January 18, 2003, 08:47

Have you got the jumpers set correctly on the disks? Should be one Primary and two slave.
