IDE Hard Drive cable question
This may seem like a stupid question, but if you have a CD/DVD rom on the secondary IDE header, can a secondary hard drive be on that header as a cable select if the main hard drive is sata?

Certainly. Just jumper both drives cable select and use an 80 wire cable.

when you set your drives to cable select, the last drive on the ide cable in your case your dvd drive will be the master . when your jumper is set to cable select it automatically determines master and slave by the placement of the drives .

Yeah, they just don't look all that good when you've finished a build.

I left it the way it is with the optical and hdd on separate controllers. the Cable select was acting funny and was only detecting one drive or the other.

You may not have been using an 80 wire cable select cable. 40 wire cables still require master/slave jumpering.
