Got hold of a second HDD, I stuck the jumpers on the slave slot, plug it into the slave slot, and turned my pc on,
Nothing's changed.. No new HDD no new space.. nothing..
any ideas what it could be?

ever thought of going into control panel and using the "add/detect new hardware" option
Oi, you never paid for that! :mad:
Check its all plugged in properly, sometimes IDE cables manange to wiggle out. Darn things. Pull out and push all cables in as far as the go.
Is it on the ribbon with the other HDD or CD drive? Ideally i'd put it with the other HDD, amke sure it is set as master as well. Sometimes factories get it wrong. It should detecet in BIOS if it does anywhere. No need to arse aobut in windows.
Sometimes it just luck. I spent ages getting a 4 gig to work. Just make sure the cables are fully in and such like. Listen to see if power is getting to the drive, if it spins up.
Hmm. Does the RAM work though?
So probably yes. :yes:
Hang on, my pentium 2's case has more than that. Nah, just a rubbish case. Swap ya, seeing as I am selling it? Its a good case, TBH.
and.. duron 700, i was wrong overclocking to 850
4 places for CD/DVD, using 2
2 places for floppies, using 1
5 places for hard drives, using 1 (I had a second one until a few weeks ago)
4 5.25 bays, all used. CDRW, DVD ROM, Fanbus, HDD Caddy.
2x Floppy/HDD, 1in use.
1x HDD thing
The PSU is fully used up, no free wires! It is 500 watt though.
Graeme, I just thought, do you want that case the P2 is in? Tell me if you do, its pretty good. Its heavy though.
