IDE Hd to a Sata motherboard

[Paul Flores]

I have a Seagate 80gb Hard Drive that is a IDE. I just bought a new DELL Dimension E310. It has a 80gb SATA 2 Hard Drive. The mother board does not have anyplace where I can connect my older IDE Hard Drive . Is there anyway that the older IDE Hard Drive can be connected to my new computer as a secondary Hard Drive?
Someone told me that I can use one of the CD ROM connections to connect to my Hard Drive, will that work?
If not what can I do?

If you Open up the CPU there should be 2 wires that look exactly the same one should be plugged into your current hard drive. Take the other one and hook it up to your old hard drive. It should work as a slave drive once you turn your computer back on.
