Mount dual-drive solutions for operating systems and software are growing, they often foaming, see the good stuff on the DOWNLOAD, the original hard drive long enough. Large capacity to take advantage of the new hard drive, fast, good performance, cheap (think I had 4.3G, 2000, which, alas, do not say!), Why not buy another one? However, the old hard drive hey, sell it, not worth a few, stood also a waste, it is better to hang a dual-drive! That was a good idea.
Mount dual hard drives, you must first set up the hard disk jumper the hard drive jumper method can refer to the hard disk manual, hard drive, jumper method is generally different. If an IDE data line only to pick only one IDE device (such as hard drives, CD-ROM, ZIP or MO, etc.), you do not need on the only IDE device set the jumpers, the system will automatically recognize IDE devices (such as hard disk) status.
Are generally good performance hard disk (hard disk) main plate MA (MasterDevice) connected to the first IDE interface (PrimaryIDEConnector). As for the old hard drive (hard disk), there are several connection:
1) two hard disks connected with a hard disk data online, the second hard drive should be set from the disk of SL (SlaveDevice).
2) second hard drive connected to the second IDE interface (SecondaryIDEConnector), if the data line of the interface is only one hard disk, there is no access optical drive, second hard drive without jumper; If the data line hanging optical drive, second hard drive and optical drive is one of the Make MasterDevice another Make SlaveDevice, which is decided by yourself.
By the way, in addition to the outside, MA, SL jumper on the hard drive or optical drive, as well as a the CS (CableSelect, cable select) jumper. If the jumper choose the CS, the Lord of the IDE devices from the identity determined by the hard drive data cable. In general, the connection plate in the middle of the hard drive data cable plug is the main dish, connect the hard drive 1.8m 6Ft HDMI to VGA Y-Split Cable Mini DVI Adapter plug at the end of the disk from the disk. However, the light CS jumper is not enough, you also need to transform the ordinary 40-pin hard drive data cable, namely: starting from the colored side, cut off from the disk plug between the 28 line in the two main be careful not to cut off the other line, so that you can with the CS jumper as a dedicated hard drive data cable. When you need to exchange the main identity from the disk, as long as the two plug this hard drive data cable to access the hard drive swap you can look without the hard drive removed and re-jumper. For dual hard drives connected to a data line, you need to transform the hard disk master from the set of my friends, is very convenient.
Installing a dual-hard drive, can not say the letter interlacing problems. What is the drive letter to be staggered? For example. Suppose your first hard drive is the original C, D and E, three partitions, labeled C1, D1, E1, second hard drive has two partitions C and D, labeled C2, D2. Under normal circumstances, the dual-drive is installed, the order of the hard disk partition, will the C-C1, D-C2, E-D1, the F-E1, the G-D2, you see, the original first hard drives D, E partition into a E, F disk embedded in the disk between C and E, the second hard drive C partition, this letter is staggered. Letter staggered cause the error of the original software, links, and the path before installing dual hard drives does not work.
You can take the following measures to avoid the letter staggered.
1) If two hard drives have a primary DOS partition, you can set up the first hard drive in the CMOS, while the second hard drive is set to None, so that the order of the IDE interface, Windows or Linux system will in turn allocated letter, thus avoiding the letter staggered, but do not damage the hard disk data. The benefits of doing so Also, if the Primary DOS partition in the two hard drives are equipped with different operating systems, you can change the CMOS settings to activate one of the disks to shield another hard disk in order to initiate the appropriate operating system. The disadvantages are: pure DOS can not see the hard drive of CMOS shield.
2) only the first hard disk to create a Primary DOS partition (of course there are other logical partitions), while the second hard disk is divided into an extended partition, and then divided into logical partitions, you can completely avoid the letter staggered. Of course, before the second hard disk partition to back up your data! You can first use method to install a dual-drive, and then back up important data to the first hard disk, and finally the second hard disk repartition
