THe ide cable wont stick in the hdd. any ideas for a quick fix? I can hold the cable in, but when I let go, the computer loses the connection. What do i do short of buying a new cable?
 
tape? i dunno...never had that problem

id say just buy a new cable...they're pretty cheap
 
get new IDE cable, or use electrical tape to tape it on.

best bet: new cable before you break your drive or computer with it going in and out while turned on. doubt your motherboard supports hot swapping... so dont try it...
