How do you install Drive No. 3?

2002 quicksilver G4, I have 3 drives and the latest addition (1TB seagate) seems to cause it to freeze up when multitasking or downloading from iTunes. after replacing the logic board and the CPU it appears that this drive has been causing the problems. So now I'm replacing it.
I just received the new WD 500 GB PATA Drive in the mail yesterday and was trying to replace it when I ran out of parts. There are 3 hard drive locations, the original drive, one piggybacked on top of it and a third one to the side on the other end of the tower. The drive being replaced is in that third spot.
the problem I have is the power cord won't reach it and there is no ribbon cable to connect it.
Can I get extensions that will enable me to connect this drive or does only a SATA drive work from this position?
any recommendations?

Hi-
For three of more drives, as indicated, a PCI controller card is needed
This will give you interface for two to four more drives.
The added benefit is that the PCI card is faster than the native ATA bus.
An Acard 6280M like that pictured Here will give you the ability to add up to 4 drives, 2 on each ribbon/connector.
The card is available Here.
Using any existing power connector, add a Molex splitter to provide the additional power connections.

    Hmmm? A quick google search for external optical readers turns up many in the $20-$40 (USD) range. Didn't convert to £ or include any VAT charges, but you should be able to get something significantly cheaper than £70. That's your simplest solution.

  • Lost-how do you install x-fi driver for arch 32bit

    k,  i have tried installing the linux x-fi driver for my sound card... but im sorta having trouble installing the driver.
    i sorta find the instructions arch wiki to install the driver confusing... how do you install it? im really lost, and im very new to linux.... but i do got computer smarts...

    The wiki page (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HCL/Sound_Cards) doesn't cover installing drivers for creative soundcards as such. They should be installed automatically. However it doesn't mention the x-fi at all. I am not sure what the procedure is for your card. Are you sure it hasn't been autodetected? Also you should read this article if you haven't already.

    your post title and the message within seem to contradict themselves.
    More information from you might be helpful as in  what packages did you install during the installation process? Did you have network connection during the install? Are there any errors that you get when booting.

  • How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software?

    How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software for a computer running MAC OSX 10.4.11 if you do not have a MacBook Air?

    You'll find the software you're looking for here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/dvdorcdsharingsetupupdateformac.html
    However, say for example you install this on your iMac G4 or Windows XP PC (you'll need to get the link for that one yourself), are you planning to try to share the drive with an iBook or other non-MacBook Air computer? If this is your case, I'm not shure if it can be done with that software. I'll need to get back to you on that one.

  • How do you install HP Photosmart Apple software with just an iPad?

    I have an iPad 2 with iOS 7 and a new HP Photosmart 7520 all in one printer. How do you install the Apple software on the CD if you don't have a computer to do so?
    Is there some kind of wifi internet install of the CD's software or do I have to go find a computer to do this?
    This is frustrating and I can't find info that says what to do.
    Thanks in advance for any help with this.

    You should not need to install the CD software.
    Your Printer Model Appears to be AirPrint Compatible as found in the list of printers here.
    AirPrint Basics

    Basically all you would need to do is connect the Printer to the Same Wifi network your iPad is connected to and off you go.
