Your Mother Board Lubin/Willow only has 2 SATA ports.

You could use the one for the CD/DVD???

Thank you 

will give try

if there is no extra sata port Crucial Uk suport has given me wrong advice as  i am using Cruical 500GB SSD

By any chance any adapotrs availbe in the market  like two set of SSD's to one port.

Thank you

Hi

I used the dvd port for my SSD as suggested thank you

it worked. only problem is i dont  have enough  power cable length and space , so my SSD is hanging in air.

will it cause me problem in future. extension cables for power. HP made system compact but its no good for upgrades

not user friendly to install stuff in system

Thank you very much for helping me
