Second Hard Drive will not connect
I just received my new XPS 600. My plans was to install the HD from my old computer. My thinking was this would be the easy way to transfer files. The old HD connections will not work on the XPS. This was indeed a surprize to me.
Where can I get a connection that will work?
Thanks in advance.

New computers use SATA connections instead of IDE (PATA).
More info (and pics of my XPS 600 with all bays full) here.Maybe this info can be added to the FAQ, mods?Otto Maddox

MY XPS600 uses PATA for the DVD drives. If you didn't order or don't want the DVD drives you could probably use those for extra hard drives.Message Edited by Otto Maddox on 12-20-2005 11:26 AM

The HD I am trying to install is a MAXTOR ATA/133 HDD.
THANKS
