we bought an new Intel based PC for our office

Ram : 2*2 GB Adata premium 800Mhz
HDD : 500 GB seagate sata
80Gb * 2 seagate IDE
PSU : Mron 600 watts
OS : win 7


it just works fine with 1 sata 500 Gb & 1 80 Gb HD, when i hooked my second IDE HDD
bios shows there's no IDE drives..
jumpers are in Cable select.....


how can i access both of IDE drives along with SATA..

you need to individually label the IDE drives as primary and 2ndary. in the bios you choose whether you want IDE or sata to boot. dont use cable select. you need to use jumpers to define master and slave.
