I just purchased a Radeon X1950 Pro and I'm not sure if I installed it properly. I plugged the card into the PCI-E port, then connected the card to a power outlet. The directions say something about plugging it into your hard-drive, but there is no place to plug it into the hard-drive. Anyways I turned on the computer it was detected and I updated the drivers and it seems to be working okay, but I'm still not sure. Can anyone help me?

Yep, sounds good to me. It's jammed all the way into the slot and the molex power connector from your power supply is plugged into the back of the card? Then you should be good to go.
Not usre about that hard drive thing though...dont know what thats about

i suspect the mention of hard drive is to do with the power connector. the power connector is probably the same type of plug as the hard drive power plug. It might have been suggesting that if there was not a spare power plug dangling around, then you could use the hard drive plug with a 2 way adaptor
