80 conductor Cables?

[jfiorini]

Hi. I am running an Intel Celeron 333 MHz computer, and I've recently started getting the error message: "no 80 conductor Cable Installed" on both my Primary and Secondary IDE Channels. Does anyone know what this means, and if so, could it be a reason for my computer to randomly lock up on me?

Thanks!

80 conductor cables are used for ATA66 and above Hard Drives and Controllers/IDE ports.

If you do not have an ATA66 or above capable motherboard, or hard drive, then there is no need to worry.
