So....
I have 2 hard drives. my C Drive and my D Drive

My C Drive has my OS and my D Drive has all my media and documents.
Used to be i just connect the power wire that i connect in the slot near my SATA slot and the HDD would work.. I don't know why it stopped working. Now i have to connect the 4 PIn power wire.

I dont know why this is. if you can help me fix this it would be great, this is the main problem

my second problem is that my D Drive doesn't have a 4pin wire slot, and you have to use the power wire that you connect near the SATA... so how do i fix this?

Well not exactly a clear description of the problem, i think he means he use to plug the sata power cable into the D drive whenever he wanted to use it but now thats not working he wants to use the 4 pin molex instead
Think we all need a better description of the problem to help any further m8
