I too have tried to connect two HD's, and the computer will not recognize the second drive, I had replaced the 40 GIG with a 200, and was told a while back by a friend that I could use the 40 to RUN the main apps, how do I GET my Dell to recognize both WITHOUT any conflics, both are still in the computer, but only the 200 gig is hooked up.

Thank you for your time
William

BTW, mine is a Dell dimentions 2400, nothing BIG, just an average computer


Welcome Aboard.

It's best to start a new thread so it recieves the proper attention....it could be as simple as a jumper setting. We have a resident Dell expert ....he'll be along shortly.

patio. Cool

First you have to make sure they are jumpered correctly and they are both seen in the BIOS. Have a read here:
