why u want to do these unnecessary thing.
if u want to do. go through the steps.
1. YOUR SYSTEM MUST BE SWITCHED OFF. 2. REMOVE SYSTEM CABINET. 3. INSERT ONE IDE CABLE TO YOUR MOTHER BOARD. 4. CONNECT MIDDLE ONE TO YOUR SATA HARD-DISK. BUT IT SHOULD BE BOOTABLE DISK. 5. CONNECT LAST ONE TO ONE MORE SATA HARD-DISK. INSERT JUMPERS TO THIRD PLACE, WHICH IS ALLREADY WILL BE IN FIRST PLACE. 6. NOW TAKE ONE MORE IDE AND CONNECT TO ONE END TO YOUR MOTHER BOARD AND OTHER END TO NEXT HARD DISK.
First thing you turn off the power then remove the cabinet keep the first sata hard drive as master (Between Data cable & Power supply) there you have four pins from left first pin keep the jumper it is going to be as master & the second sata drive keep it as slave & the third ide hard disk you donot keep any jumpers ok.
ok, i had to comment on this, first off, to the person who posted before, you cannot connect a IDE connector to a SATA drive, SATA drives take SATA connectors. To introduce myself i am a highly trained computer technician. Second off, SATA drives do not have jumpers at all, period!! Ok, you should just use the two sata drives if thats what *********** board is set up for. Pluggin you your os drive in SATA connector 1 on your MB. Slave drive in SATA connector 2 on MB. Then you are good to go, Good Luck!!!
Just wondering if there is room for a third SATA drive in this machine. I looked inside, and it looks like there are only two connections. I wanted to add a third SATA drive. Any ideas how to do add a third SATA drive in the 670?

I hve a compaq presario 5000 desktop. It will boot up to the desktop with these errors QTTask Error Kernel32.dll and Active Desktop Recovery. Then it freezes up. I can restart it, but it won't go past this point. Any suggestions.
