Thanks for that. I have a 200gb sata drive, but for some reason it wouldn't run with my pata's.

Yeah you can run PATA and SATA drives together, did you change the jumpers on the SATA drive to 'slave', what are the problems your having? 

[Paul C]

Both are no goes for me due to lack of games support.

Mac's have a supprising amount of games but their are still a lot that aren't available 

You can get a lot of mac games are www.macgold.co.uk and Amazon

Question to JBG or Lionheart or anyone else who knows about computers:

Can I attach and run more than 2 hard-drives at once as well as running my dvdr and cdr?

Cheers.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Internal or external hard drives?

Internal drives. My motherboard has 1 connection for the hard-drives. The ribbon cable has 2 connections for the hard-drives. I have 2 at the minute - 30gb master and 120gb slave. My computer case has more hard drive bays. Is it possible for me to connect more than 2 hard drives at once?

Hope that makes some sort of sense!

Do you know is the connection is SATA or IDE?

The short answer is that I don't know if you can have more than one slave drive on the same cable.

You could ways buy a PCI SATA controller card, if you haven't any spare connections on the MoBo

I have a black tower with a silver bit on it !It says Packard Bell!!

There's were you went wrong Barry!
1.  Never buy a PC from PC World
2.  And more importantly, NEVER...NEVER, buy a Packard Bell.

Depends what your using it for RAM and CPU aren't the be all and end all of a PC, but a 3.0 mhz with 512mb is good for general stuff like Internet, email, word processing, etc 

[Lando_Griffin]

Well it all means nowt to me I'm afraid!

As far as I'm concerned - higher numbers = a better computer!!!!!

I have got a Pentium ® 4 CPU - 3.2 GHz
MSI 945P Neo Motherboard (SATA2 RAID)
2.0 GB DDR2 RAM (can go up too 8 GB)
Mirrored application hard drive (faster load) 2x80 GB
& data drive 190 GB.
MSI NX 6600 256 MB DDR Graphics Card (need to update this)
and a fricking nice mouse.


But its all useless if you don't upgrade your drivers. I tried this myself a couple of weeks ago and fried my motherboard. Just got a new one recently, luckliy under warrantee.
