| can a hard drive and cd drive share an ide cable? Yes, you will need a cable like the one in the image below; http://www.gotogeek.com/mobopics/idecable.jpg One side will be connected to the IDE slot on the Motherboard, and two other sides one with the hard disk and CD.To get them working to should change the Jumper setting for both the hard disk and CD as Master and Slave.
