Question on adding a hard drive.

I have a SATA Hd in one of my computers. It's the only one in that particular pc. I have a spare IDE hd that I would like to add. Are there any "issues" I should be aware of in doing this, given that none of the IDE channels are presently in use? Do I set it as master or slave, etc....

Tia for any info.

Assuming a CD/DVD is plugged into IDE1 primary, plug the HDD into IDE2 primary. Set the jumper to master. If you use windows, Disk Management is your friend. You should easily detect the drive, assign a drive letter, and format from there.
