Depends on your motherboard, if you have no more connections available USB for Firewire might be your only options...are there 2 drives on every cable? (master/slave)

The new PC's we have just had built for us in the office here all have 4 x 125 gb HD's.

Makes a change not to be pushed for space.

Battus, if you have only one CD rom drive/burner/dvd player etc, there should be place for one more IDE device. Call me, I'll run you through it, I build systems myself.

I have 2 roms already :/

Hey before you start working on those pics how about you install my hdrive in your paid time?

Actually the reason i wanted to install this drive is for you, so you can work on a clean disk.

Nope, nothing at all. I'll just temporarily swap one CD-ROM for the harddisk.
