RoxStar Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 What kind of motherboard do you have.... Get PC Wizard, and that should show you, if you don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Arreat knows alot aboot canadians but not aboot computers eh? j/k man. It all depends upon what connection the hard drive uses. Did you buy it from a store or is it selfbuilt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acdcfanbill Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 turn off the pc, unplug it, ground yourself, plug in the hdd cable and power after securing it, turn back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arreat Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Thanks for the help people, but is the mainboard the same thing as the motherboard? 'Cause that's all that the programs are giving me. EDIT: Man, this is really frustrating - I have a Compaq Presario 5330CA and all I'd like to know is if its IDE or not. Man I never knew it would be so difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
