443719 2006-04-04 09:25:00 If the floppy light stays on continuously with no disk in it, it means the floppy cable is round the wrong way.

Just as long as the red/blue stripe on the ide cables are going to pin 1 on the hdd and mobo, it should work.

If either of the ide cable ends are blue, the blue end goes to the mobo ide connection.

443720 2006-04-04 19:29:00 will check the cables once again. thanx. starrekin61 (10116)
443721 2006-04-06 02:44:00 The motherboard socket for the floppy cable often points the other way round . ;) Don't ask me why .

Pin 1 on hard disks is at the end of the connector nearest the power connector on the drive .
