I have now bought an IDE controller card (Promise Ultra133 TX2). I've got 2 IDE hard drives which work perfectly fine when plugged in as default into the motherboard's hard disk controller. When I instead put the IDE cable to my newly bought controller card, the card's bios tells me that no disks were found.
What can you miss in these situations?
* The manual said something about inserting the system case's LED connector into the card. Do they mean the HDD LED or the Power LED? And whichever I choose, doesn't my motherboard need these connectors for othere drives?
* The manual says a lot about installing drivers etc for different operating systems. But don't I have to deal with my first mentioned problem first?
