my dad just gave me 2 Dual-PIII servers. he had his SCSI drives in there but he wanted me to take them out. I had no problem with this, because im just putting together a file server for myself with 2 shitty little 40gb IDE hard drives i have laying around.
so I open it up and it only has 1 ide controller on the board. the cd drive is hooked up to it, leaving only one connection open. i have a PCI IDE controller laying around. if i stick this into the computer, will it work just as i want? would i need to specify anything in the bios? would it even work?
