Hi
I have a "Intel DG31PR" Mobo with one Sata hard drive conected.
Now I want to add a "wd205AA" ATA/IDE Hard Drive, because that my Mobo has only one IDE slot i had to connect the Cd drive and new hard drive on one cable but i dont know how.
If i connect the HDD in the middle and cd at the end or reverse, both don't show up. but both work separately.
PLEASE HELP?!!

Thanks In Advance!

Also, if it is a 80 wire cable you can just set both drives to CS, cable select.

80-conductor cable looks like this: blue connects to motherboard, black is master, gray is slave.

40-conductor cable looks like this:
