My friend says you can hook up a third hard drive to the A-drive. I already have 2 harddrives connected. Is that possible?

Nope.
The connectors on the cables that go the the hard drive and the floppy drive are pinned out different so there is no way the data channels work the same way.
Look on the floppy drive cable and you see that about 5 of the conductors are flipped over making the interchange of floppy and hd impossible.

I quess anything is possible , but I personally haven't run into it yet. Your computer could support up to 4 hard drives and more with more cards put in it. But it will slow it down somewhat. Depends on what kind of a computer you have. But why put more drives when drives are so large and cheap these days.
One 250 giga hertz drive runs about $60.00 bucks at alot of online stores these days. Just up grade to a larger drive. And besides you can get USB exterior drives to plug into your USB ports which are easy as pie. Plug it in or unplug it while your computer is running. Go to Ebay type in usb drives and you will find some amazing prices on USB drives. 20, 30 40 60 80, 120
gig drives. Hopefully your computer will support larger drives.

no possible "A" drive is designed to floppy drives not a chance , it will not past the post and it will ask you for the right component.
and restart by itself.
you can take one of your drives out and get a 500 GB drive and use partition.

ooh ooh ooh i may well be attentive to this one. this venture drove me nuts for some days. see if it reliably can bump into it while rebooting, and extraordinarily a lot under no circumstances detects it in a chilly boot. if it rather is real, my concern replace into thepersistent replace into not spinning up quickly adequate. so there replace into an option in the BIOS stated as HDD postpone. meaning while detecting the difficultpersistent, it pauses for the quantity you placed in the postpone, giving thepersistent time to skill up. it mounted my concern thoroughly. solid success
