I had a similar case and even after I installed the 80-pin cable, it still showed no 80-pin connector. The only way to get rid of the message was to disconnect the CDROM.<br />
<br />
As far as functionality,,,everything<wbr /> worked fine,,so if the message still shows up,,,press on as you are out of options, unless you get an IDE controller card.<br />

This message seems to happen on Abit and Asus boards more often...what is your board model number? &nbsp;It may be fixable via a BIOS update (in the case where even with the 80 conductor cable).<br />
<br />
I don't see that there's much else to answer here Swicked...please post a comment or if you have the 80 conductor cable, please resolve this question by clicking one of the &quot;Accept Comment as Answer&quot; links for the comment which answered your question.<br />

I added a new HD to my machine - now totaling 3. &nbsp;I have one a slave to the CDRW drive - and this is the one that is saying No 80 conductor cable installed. &nbsp;<br />
I guess it's becasue I am not using an 80 conductor cable. &nbsp;Am I able to us a 80 conductor cable for this application (HD Slave to CDRW)?<br />
