EIDE Drive on Optiplex GX520
I have an 80 Gig SATA drive installed with DVD/CD Rom drive with the standard "criss-cross" cables. I tried to install an EIDE 320 Gig on the same cable, tried all configurations of jumpers, switched the cable back and forth, etc. Could not read the drive.
What am I missing here?

The GX520 comes in three configurations: Mini-Tower, Desktop and
Small Form Factor. You have a SATA hard drive (original?) and it
has a DVD/CD drive (IDE). You added an IDE hard drive to the
IDE Cable with the CD/DVD drive.
Did you do the following .... set the DVD/CD drive jumper to the
Cable Select position (factory setting) and set IDE hard drive
jumper to the Cable Select position. Upon boot-up, did you enter
the Set-up and enable the IDE channel that the new hard drive is
connected too?
