As you may see, I have one hard drive in my computer, in red
I have the plug on my mobo saying IDE2 by the blue arrow

I have an IDE plug, an IDE hdd, and a cable. Can someone please tell me where I should put my second hdd in the case? Im guessing its either the holes marked 1,2 and 3 (yello), but im not sure and I dont want something bad to happen :(


I did have a harddrive going before, but I never hooked it up to the computer, because i never got it working propperly, but now its going :D

When I installed my new h/drive I jsut put it below my other one, I don't actuly think it matters were it sits just make sure you plug it into the right thingy. But if possible have some space between your h/drives.

All you should have to do is screw threw the holes in the frrame thingy into the drive. Did you get screws? If you are short of screws you could remove two from one of the other drives. Thats what I did and its all nice and stable.
