I have a Dell Dimension 2350 that belonged to my sister.  Is it possible to add another drive to it?  Its a single drive IDE Yes you can. I had this same model before I gave it to my brother.Pretty much any computer with only 1 hard drive can be added to because each IDE cable can support 2 drives. Be it 2 hard drives, 2 optical drives or a mix of the 2. Just be sure to set your jumpers correctly. (ALSO assuming that the IDE cable has 2 connectors,if not youcan replace it with one that does.)I wasnt sure if it was possible with these.  I had tried it but wasnt able to see the drive.  Where do you put the slave in the case?  There are 2 possibilities here. 1. if you are using a 40 pin cable connector then the origional drive should have its jumper set to "master" and the second drive set to  "slave". 2. If you have an 80 pin connector then both drives jumpers need to be set to "cable select". Also if this is the case make sure that the first drive (the one you will be booting from is connected at the very end of the cable. Sometimes DIFFERENT manufacturers of drive end up being incompatible. It would help if you could tell me what type of cable connector and drives you have.I know that I think it was slaved but I'll try it again.is it formatted? it will not show up in "my computer" if it is not formatted. it will however show up in ADMINISTRATIVE tools, and from there you can format it.

click START > RUN > type in "compmgmt.msc" without the quotes > hit the + sign on the left of "Storage," a menu should drop down if it wasnt down already > select disk management > you should see your new harddrive on the lower right hand side. it should be in RAW format if it is a new drive. right click it and select format.I think it was since I need it for my LINUX pc.  As I said I need to know how to mount it.  Quote from: squall_01 on March 17, 2008, 03:28:22 PM
