How can I connect 4 Hard Drives in my PC?

Hi everyone I got 4 ATA harddrives connected to my PC in form "Primary channel = Master-Slave" "Secondary channel = Master-slave" but its making problems. Any ideas would help me alot, thanx.

Answers:
It could cause problems if the jumper settings are incorrect. In the back of each hard drive, there is a set of metal pins with at least one jumper(little plastic thing) connecting some pins. Make sure the setting is correct (master or slave) for each drive. An alternative to having all four HDDs connected to your motherboard is to get a separate ATA card to connect them to, if your motherboard has problems with that many drives (though it shouldnt).
You can also purchase external USB housings for your hard drives, which may work better.
If you could be more specific about the problems, maybe we could help more.
yes where are you dvd rom and your burner also what you should have gotten was a pci controller card for the other 2 hard drive.
why the hell why ?
What kind of problem?

Check the jumper settings of the hard drives. Set it to "master/slave". Also try set all to "cable select" instead.

You can also check the cable and the pins to make sure it's fine.
How about buying ONE hard drive equivalent of the other 4?
GET EXTERNAL HDD or GET PROFESSIONAL HELP
