cant do this. the reason? you have used both IDE channels already
1 channel has the 2.5" drive on, t'other channel has your two CDROM
drives on.
you have two options.
1) ditch the small/slow/old 2.5" drive
(simply take off the CDROMs, put the 3.5" drive onto that channel,
format, install, copy across your system and then remove the 2.5",
replacing with the 3.5" and put the CDROMs back
2) get a 3.5"->2.5" adapter and try to put both drives onto the one
channel (connector near the CDROM connector). this *may* work but very
doubtful as 2.5" devices arent designed to be in a master/slave situation
