You don't need the software first. Which IDE channel are you putting it on? Is this a 80 wire cable (Blue, Black & Grey connectors) or standard 40 pin cable (all grey connectors)? How do you have it jumpered (Master, slave or cable select)? Is it the only thing on the channel, if not what does it share with?
