Internal hard drive questions

[Jazzy88]

I have an older Compaq desktop - model #6016US. It has five bays that are currently filled as follows

DVD/RW
CD/RW
3.5" floppy drive
60GB HDD
20GB HDD

My question is can I take the floppy drive out and put another HDD in it? Would I use the same cable that the floppy is currently connected to?

Thanks!

A floppy cable only works on a floppy drive.
Although you may have an open bay you are out of IDE connections on that machine with 4 devices.
You can either add a PCI controller card that will add 2 more IDE slots and/or check to see if your MBoard has any SATA connections...if it does you can add a SATA HDD.

[Spoiler]

You can do as Patio said and it will work fine....just a side note...I would backup the 20 gig drive than replace it with a bigger drive and do a restore from the backup.
