You can get a eide exspansion card, but remember bios will only support 2 channels, eg... primary, master-slave secondary, master-slave.
If you have all 4 slots or both channels full then there is nothing you can do except maybe get a eide to usb adapter.
Or just get a sata motherboard. and converters to use you're old eide drives.

Well i have a sata mobo but my dumbass bought an ata100 160gb hd...the mobo only came with 1 fucking 39 pin ide slot ( my old mobo had 2 ), its to late for me to buy a sata hd since i already payed for the ata100 hd :( FUCK. So bonie will this shit do? Can i run one hd from the actual ide slot from the mobo and one ata 100 off of thishttp://www.xpcgear.com/hiro2atideco.html

A single eide channel can support 2 devices with a 3 connector cable ;)

Yup there is just about an adapter for anything on the computer you can think of.

Got another problem. Im basically all set with my new comp just waiting on windows xp to get here but, my dvd drive doesnt work it shows the green light on but it doesnt open. Ive tried it on slave, master, Cs and still nothing. My question is do i wait till windows xp gets here, insert the disc in my drive from my old comp then try it on mine again? I'm fucking out of ideas.
-
Just give up you noob. By a regular computer and deal with it.
-
I will never give up lester f you, if i cant ill get chris or gio the fag to set it up for me hehehe
-
If it doesn't open with power, then simply its defective.
-
Well it works with my old comp also the mobo doesnt pick up my video card either so i can see shit on the monitor...I think its just the entire mobo that is fucked up, so i bought another one..

If you would quite buying that cheap junk off e-bay it might work.

-
I bought my mobo new with a warranty ;)

Hey since when is newegg ebay lool. Hopefully this new mobo will work im guessing the ide connector was fucked up or something, because my drive and card work.
