Installation of CDRW
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2002 12:51 pm
I tried to install my new LG GCE-8480B today on my Dell Dimension XPS T500. Already have Hard Drive, DVD-ROM and Zip100 attached to EIDE cables and cannot figure out how to make the one available EIDE connector stretch across to the CDRW. The Hard Drive is over to the left and the 5" and 3.5" drive bays are over to the right. The DVD and Zip share one of the EIDE cables and the Hard Drive the other (with a spare connector).
Can I buy a 6" extension for the EIDE ribbon cable? If so will that cause a problem as the cable will then be longer than the 18" maximum specified in the LG Installation guide? Any ideas? I don't really want to lose the Zip or the DVD.
Help please!!!! (and happy Christmas to all )
