On the acer hard drive the cable is about 1/3/ the size of the cable for my Western Digital hard drive.I can not add my Western Digital to my new computer with the acer hard drive.Is there a special cable the will allow the two hard drives to work? The computer i had with the western digital hard drive, mother board failed.
Thank You

-   acer aspire m5640 x86 basedb dual cpu e2160@1.8ghz, 1803 mhz, 2 cores i would like to install a wd 40gb ide hard drive along with the sata hard drive that came with the system i tried to installed them with each one going to their own connectors but pc would not boot
Hi, the problem is one hard drive ie the 1/3 one is a SATA hard drive, the other is IDE.
to set them both up you need to do this,
Connect the IDE Hard Drive using the IDE cable like before.
With the Acer Hard Drive you need a Sata cable cost about a £1 from any shop.
You connect the sata cable from the hard drive to the motherboard, but on the motherboard you are looking for a small red connection same size as the cable, SATA is on most motherboards for machines that are just over a year old.

My WD external hard drive, MDL: WD12008015 has stopped working. When powered on, only the left hand blue light comes on. Previously, the left and right hand lights (of the 3) came on. Can't get the right hand light on. What causes this? Ken
