Cheers for all the help, paul.. zing and bdav

Will using a 40 wired IDE cable as opposed to one of the newer 80 wired cables make much difference to a HDD that's running at 5200RPM ?

Reason being I don't have any of the 80pin cables on me

...

I have a theory that it's the 80 pin cables that's the problem with the post screen not detecting the drives. I'l give it a try tommorow, I'l use a working one out of mine and test it in this comp, if that doesn't work then.....

Cheers.
