Hey All,

I'm currently trying to hook up my old IDE Diamond Max Plus 9 hard drive.

I am currently running a new Western Digital SATA drive hooked up to my Asus M2N32-SLI Premium mobo. All I am trying to do is add this old IDE hard drive to the mobo and run it as a slave/secondary.

I cannot get my BIOS to recognize anything plugged into the IDE slot. I am using brand new IDE cables right out of the package, I have verified that the IDE hard drive has power and I have also verified that the hard drive works on an older Asus mobo.

Anyone know what I could be doing wrong or if I am missing a step? Or if I can even run this IDE drive with a newer SATA drive?

Any help would be much appreciated.
