asrock motherboard with 3 harddisk. can it work?

This will work, however you need to have enough IDE and SATA connectors.  Limit of 2 IDE harddrives to each IDE connector on the motherboard and a limit of 1 SATA harddriver for each SATA connector on the motherboard.   Since most motherboards usually have 2 IDE connectors, you could theoretically have 4 IDE harddrives.  This would limit you to USB CD or DVD drives however.  If the motherboard had 1 SATA connector this number of harddrives could go up to 5, and with 2 onboard connectors, up to 6 possible harddrives.  You could theoretically add even more if you added a SATA or IDE PCI expansion card.  You get the picture.  \nIn conclusion, yes this would work.

ask around. i have like 4 disks of it from various motherboards and drives i have purchased. i'm sure people you know have extras lying around.\n\n[edit] sorry i was talking about system mechanic. i'm sure reg mechanic is out there. somewhere. (hint: don't "kickme".)

Can your power supply handle the extra hardware? Dumb question but simple mistake.\n\nIf you have the original driver for the SATA then reinstall it. Remove the old ones first. Then restart.\nThen reinstall the driver and shut down.\nPlug in SATA and boot.\nAll should be happy.\n\nIt is also possible that the drive itself has needed software for it to run on the computer. My SATA came with a CD that had to be run before installation. I have yet to encounter any problems.

You need to check with ASUS and see if they have a BIOS recovery utility. It should include instructions on how to use it also.

Beware!\nDefinitely get a matched pair - even if your current mobo doesn't support dual channel mode, you may get one that does, one day.\nWhy beware?\nMy GA-K8NSC-939 has four slots.\nI can put a single stick of RAM in either slot 1 or slot 3...\n2 sticks in slots 1 and 3 only - unless they're matched, then they can be in either 1 and 2 or 3 and 4.  If I try this with unmatched sticks the system is not stable.\n3 sticks?  No. Way.\n4 sticks?  Only if two matched pairs...\nThis is not explicitly mentioned anywhere, I learned the hard way.\n\nSo, get matched pairs, the biggest you can.  You may be replacing your existing memory, rather than adding to it.\n\nGood Luck!

just buy a good drive, maxtor ( now seagate ) or western digital\nmake sure the interface is the same ( it's probaly PATA and not SATA is you got a 33gb hardrive ), most all are 7200 rpm\nyour biggest problem will be weather or not your bios can handle a drive over 137Gb if you get one that big, you also did not mention your OS, and what you be foramtting the drive to ( FAT32 or NTFS ).

All of the SATA specificatoins are backwards compatible.  Your SATA 2 drive will run on a SATA 1 motherborad and your SATA 1 drive ill run on a SATA 2 motherboard.  The only difference is that you won't get some of the features available with SATA 2 if both the drive and motherboard aren't SATA 2.

Sata-1 would be a good place for the primary drive. When you expand add to 2, 3 , etc.

well really depends on what kind of hardrives you have are they IDE or SATA?? sata has raid features on it so you can  also doesnt matter how much space yor disks have to spped up ur system it reallt matters on the system ram

2 different slots.... physically impossible unless the motherboard accepts both types...then, I dont think so...never tried...(I have an older motherboard that has both slot types...(rare)\ngo to Crucial for a free system scan that will tell you exactly what you need as far as speed and type.... this info is needed to shop for the appropriate RAM for your machine.....

I don't think if your using a SATA harddrive, it has to be in RAID.  Below is a link for your motherboard.  You can download the manual.

The important thing to ask is, what hd will your  motherboard and power supply support.\n\nThe 6vxc7 does not support SATA, so you need to get an IDE hard drive. It doesnt matter what brand or capacity, you'd need an IDE drive, not a SATA drive.\n\nOr you can get a SATA drive with a converter, check the link. But best go with the IDE

Motherboard dependant\n\nPentium 4 or modern motherboards should support USB 2.0

I wouldn't install them together.  I would check the motherboard specifications and see which one is right for the motherboard.  It is never good to install to differnet speeds.  Also, RDRAM has to be installed in pairs, meaning you have to install 2 chips together of the same speed.

should be able to. if they're both Dells, that is. and if Dell hasn't changed their hard drive/hard drive bay since whenever 4GB drives were actually manufactured. you should call their Customer Service to be sure. but i don't see why not.

Yeah, you're correct.  Motherboards and harddrives NEVER get along, you can only use one or the other.

SATA here and a fairly fast motherboard with 2GB Ram, still takes a lot loner than 10 seconds before it is "ready to work".\n\nIf it was with Linux or some other less bloated software than windows then yes, it may very well be practical.
