Hi!
I own old notebook and tried to use 44pin cable extension to access HDD outside notebook or simple CF to IDE adapter to exchange CF cards outside notebook.
It works not, really don't understand but maybe it is timing problem.
So, is by any way possible to use two HDDs in laptop? 2,5" HDDs for laptops have also master/slave switch, but it is maybe only for use in computers by adapter to mount it to standard IDE 3,5" connector.
Why I need to use two harddisks - I need simple DOSWIN partition table and else one partition table which is not compatible to run target OS and are not interchangeable.
Or even is possible override it / use two partition tables on single disk?
Thank you for all suggestions and help.

Can you tell me the model of that notebook? That may help. Since you said it is older, I don't think you would be able to use a laptop CD drive bay adapter to SATA hard drive. There is an adapter for that but, like I said, I don't know the model of your notebook so I am guessing at the moment.

Notebook is Compaq Evo Notebook N1000v.
Laptop CD drive bay for SATA HDD - maybe don't understand correctly, but is enough SATA to IDE adapter? This I own and can use.
Also, in notebook BIOS is DVD drive called Notebook Multibay - I know only name, but it matches name of adapter you mentioned.
Replacing DVD by disk is great solution, if, is possible to buy adapter.
Thank you.
Let me know all new.

I forgot - SATA to IDE adapter is two way SATA2IDE and IDE2SATA.

Try that then...it'll be slow...plus you cannot run Win off of it...

Ok, notebook is slow like is, so this is not problem.
Q is: What and why I'll can and cannot?
Notebook boots from CD normally, even live Windows.
If cannot run Windows, it is enough for DOS if it is that problem of speed.
I'm using it with DOS, with Windows 3.11 and Windows XP.
Want to use also Linux and OSX86 10.4.
I think that Windows, Linux and OSX86 can use Mac partition table, only DOS not.
Or is it not true?

I am officially confused now on what you want to accomplish

What is goal:
HDD1: DOS, Windows
HDD2: OSX86, Linux
HDD1 uses MSD partition table and it fully supported
HDD2 uses Mac partition table which is possible to use with Linux
Finally: OSes - DOS, Windows , OSX86, Linux.
Really please explain me what an adapter I need...

OK. Now we have a goal.
Let's say your time is money. So spend some money to save time.
Buy a good used Mac book.
But first watch this videos:

Very interesant is Windows 95 on Linux and OSX...
I think tha't good way.
But last Q is:
OSX86 supports also microSD adapter in CF card on CF to IDE adapter.
DOS is easy to install on <any> medium, success was too.
Linux Mint, exactly version Commodore OS Vision, find disk not.
I tried also Vista, this was the same.
Exist any driver for Linux and Windows XP or POSReady to see it?
Thank you.
