My question is about attaching another hard drive to the flat ribbon in my
PC. I currently have attached to the ribbon from top of case to the bottom
the following. At the top is a removable caddie, just below it is my DVD
burner, we then drop down to my floppy drive & at the bottom is my current
hard drive 'C' & the ribbon which still has another connector on it before
it attaches itself to the motherboard.
Does the ribbon have to be attached to the various components in any
particular sequence? There is room for a new drive immediately above the
current 'C' drive. Could I put the new drive there & then just move the
connector from the current 'C' drive & put it onto the new drive & if I did
do I have to change the master/slave settings etc.? The other scenario
would seem to be to physically move the current 'c' drive up a notch & then
put the new drive at the bottom of the stack.
I am trying to avoid having the ribbon connector come back up from the
bottom & pass by the already connected 'C' drive. I don't even know if this
would had that been done.

Thanks in advance
