You believe they're IDE? You might want to be sure, also, try wording technical questions clearly.

You also have "about" 3 hard drives... ?!

Look inside your computer. If you see a big flat wire connected to your hard drive than it is IDE.

Why don't you get an icy box? It allows you to use your current HDD as external HDD.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Why not skip all of this and buy a PCI expansion card?

Also, if you have IDE cables with two sockets, you can have two drives on the primary IDE port and another one on the secondary with the disk drive, just make sure the jumpers are correct.

Get an IDE to USB adapter, some will come with cases which you can store the hard drive in and prevent bare boards from being damaged.
