Hi all, I was planning on using only one SATA drive and not using my PATA drive. In this case with only a SATA drive running, can I now plug in my DVD drive's IDE cable into the primary IDE channel? Sorry if this is like a noob question.

Keep in mind, that if you have your primary drive on the same IDE channel, then its not recommended, since only ONE device on a channel can be active at a time.
