Im trying to get an old hard disk to work.

It need to boot from the sata drive and use the ide hdd as a secondary drive. I cant seem to get it to work. I removed the jumper to put it in slave mode but now the bios wont detect it. If i put the jumper back on cs enabled it will try to boot from it. But it is detected in the bios while its in cs enabled.

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance

Put the IDE drive in master mode, but change the BIOS settings to boot to the SATA drive first. try that.

Exactly what I was going to suggest.

Intel i7-7770K | Asus Maximus X Hero  | EVGA GTX980 SuperClocked | 16GB Memory| Samsung 960 EVO M.2 | Corsair RM 750W | Dell 27" S2716DG main display | Dual Dell ST2320L 23" Secondary displays | Windows 10

 

Logitech G710+ Keyboard | Logitech G502 mouse | Kingston HyperX Cloud headset | Corsair H100i

The motherboard doesnt show the capacity etc. Of the drive. I put it in the second slot of the boot priority but its very slow through the ide detection before it goes to the bios. And after it went through the detection it will either go to the bios if del.is pressed or it will show a blinking - in the top left and sit there doing nothing. Does this mean the ide hdd is broken so it cant boot from the sata while its connected?

Does it boot fine without th IDE drive? I doubt it would forget the boot order and boot to yor IDE drive. Try to just leave it unplugged and let it boot to the SATA drive. Either that, or get an IDE USB enclosure.

If i leave the jumper out it will act as a slave so the bios wont detect it because it doesnt have a master. It will just boot fine and fast without that jumper.
