I just logged on here, I have a problem after I inserted a little something (UBS CARD) into my computer. I booted up to find a "Primary I.D.E - No 80 cable conducter installed" in the BIOS. I do know my I.D.E's work, mabye I bumped something, My I.D.E are in in a total tangle, mabye if I organize them I might find the problem but
I'm real sure checked to see if everything was connected, I beleive its a small cable or jumper I bumped, I always seem to bump something when I install something new. Anyways, what the heck is an 80 cable? This might help me figure out the problem so I know what it looks like, ect.

I was repling to another topic but it said the message was to old, so I reposted it. I was really didnt understand it either. Please help me. Thank You!

It's the cable(wide flat) that goes to your hard drive. There is also one connected to your CD player.
