MOBO IDE DOUBT

[davebob]

Hi guys,
I received my mobo ASUS P5B. it has only one slot for IDE, however I have a DVD plus a second IDE HDD to connect.
My first HDD uses Sata.

What can I do?

Oh yeah.. they're forcing you to phase out pata hdds....

set burner on master and hdd on slave..

pata lets you connect 2 item per connector.. just slower if you use both at the same time..

cheers, my second HDD will be there just to back up important file, thats all...
