 |
hi, i am looking 4 a converter or adapter or card 2 let me use my SATA harddrive on a motherboard with no SATA ports, only one spare IDE port. Any advice? all i can find is converters 4 IDE drives to work on SATA ports, but not the other way around. Is there any products like that on the market and where would i find it? Thankx. Darius
You might just want to buy an SATA PCI controler card, if they make such a thing 
and this was the only thing I could find on newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815102102

Firefox: no, its not the end all solution, it has its own issues and in time it will be just as insecure as IE, when its hit Firefox 6, if it makes it that far. Oh, and AOL pays for it, incase you didn't know.
Microsoft & Windows: If you hate it so much, move to linux, or bsd, or anything else, stop complaning and move on.
Good starting places: Gentoo Novell SUSE Fedora Core Apple

yes they do make them
but beware - dont get rid of the ide drive as windows doesnt like being installed to a drive which is on a card.

and its true. keep the ide drive as your windows drive as XP needs floppies if you want to install to RAID/SCSI/ some SATA drives
