You will need to shutdown first your PC before you connect a hard disk to your IDE’s. Unable to do so will make your veins in shock! In short… makukuryente ka! LOL! Once you plug it in, follow the proceeding procedures.

- The grey one is the slave. Meaning, it is the secondary IDE Channel that can be read as removable device only.
