[QUOTE="Lasteph, post: 756613, member: 31704"] Hello Thanks once again When you say you need another longer cable to be bought do you mean an IDE cable I have had another look inside the machine and there are in fact three power leads for hard drives but there does not seem to be enough IDE cables. The current IDE cable has a double plug so extra hard drive can be fitted on top of pre-existing one but there does not seem to be another IDE plug for a third hard drive nor does there seem to be a spare position for an extra IDE cable on the motherboard.
