Yes, actually I do.
Suggestions on the best cabling for drives? My motherboard has a primary and secondary IDE. I have a 100gb maxtor diamondmax ultra ATA/133 HD, a floppy disk drive, Liteon 16x DVD/CD and a toshiba 8x DVD rom. I know the HD should go to the primary cable using the end plug but not sure of the best set up for the others. |

Hya T75mgh3.
The DVD drives both should go on IDE 2, and then the burner on the "master" position. (The end of the cable) Your floppy drive will have a separete connection on your motherboard, usually just above or just beside the IDE connection. And make sure to check if the jumpers on the back of the HD and DVD drives are set in the corresponding positions aswell.
