New HardDrive What to do?

[paul2-0-0-2]

Got a New Harddrive but no space in the case.

Was thinkin of takein the Floppy Drive out and chagein it for the H/D, other thing aswel is it would be Right under the CD/RW.

Would that be a good idea??

**The PC was brough from a PC World, Packard Bell Computer thats why theres no space lol

you can look for an external case for the hdd

60+60+60+80+cdrw+dvd-rom+250 internal zip drive+floppy - you're not trying hard enough

 

[Taggert_LOA]

can we see the internals of the case so we can better help you?

 

[paul2-0-0-2]

@ sboulema was thinkin about that

@ PseudoKiller lol

Taggert_LOA yes

oh c'mon you can do that

1) in the cage with the first hard drive. You'd need to drill some holes and probably a fan right above eit.

2) On the bottom of the case.

3) Remove cage that is there and relocate it to inder the floppy and do as in (1)

I like the external case idea. Just pick up an inexpensive external USB drive case from Newegg and slap it in there. Makes a nice backup drive...

Got some good reviews, read about some and they dont cool the H/D enough

who really needs a floppy????

even if u wanted to boot from it all new boards can boot from a USB device like a keychain disk.

 

[dreamliner77]

there are still lots of good reason's for a floppy

 

[canadian_divx]

well as i see it if you have a keychain disk i dont see a need but if u want to keep the floppy than waht about the space behind the origional HDD? like they said all u need to do is drill holes but you can also just go out and spend 30$ on a new ATX case that is more upgradable than that, but you can only do that if the back panel on that computer is an ATX plate and not something wierd
