OK I've bought a HD but now I have to change a few things in the whole setup cause cables are connected weird. That's not the problem but I have an IDE Cable with 2 connectors. One connector is fine (connected to the CD and it will stay there) but the other looks kind of like there's something missing. I don't know what the part's called so I'll try to describe it as good as possible:
What I see now is a black connection to the IDE cable (just like all other) with on the other end the holes to attach it to a part, but it doesn't have the missing hole. Also when I look at the other connectors it looks like something is put on what I see in the above connector. This part which is put on has the missing hole.
There's only one way I can connect this connector to my CD burner cause the cable is too short to twist. Also the connector fits fine into the CD burner, but I haven't tried with the power on.
Is this missing part just a check that you don't connect things improperly or is it very important and should I buy it first? If so what's this part called?
