Computer wont detect slave drive
i have an old computer that i am trying to add a slave 80gb drive to. it already has an 80gb drive and a dvd drive both masters on separate ide channels. but when i try and add a slave drive it will not detect it atall. The only way i have got it to be detected is when i put it as a master on a separte channel but then i carnt use either the dvd drive or the other hardrive as there is only 2 channels. it seems on both channels the motherboard is unable to detect slave drives ive tried cable select and jumpers but nothing is working. anyone have an ideas as to what could be wrong?
thanks in advance
