a bet of trouble here HD cable

[Hellfighter]

its a IDE type

did have a DVD-IDE remove it

way the cable was plug-in to them was

MOB----HD (C: ) ---DVD-writer

got a new DVD-Writer SATA

so like to set it up this way

MOB---empty---HD

right now its slave connection on the cable.

try to reset the Pins on the HD but that was no good and change the Cable so the HD is connected to the end of the cable and not in the meddle of the cable, will i try it would not bootup at all.

freaky IDE cable is one of them type without any slot on it, so it only go into the IDE femal end of it.

so it can go into open slots ether way, could it be on the MOB it plug-in backwards? the Male in is only box no center slots to use so it can go in ether way, yes even backwards as will.

right now its "IDE Cable"
MOB------- HD -------Empty

like to be
MOB ---- Empty ----- HD

do it really matter its in the slave slot on in the line up on the IDE Cable?
