So, I recently went out, and bought a new 120GB Harddrive. The mistake I made was that it is a SATA, whereas my MB only supports IDE (complete n00b moment).
I can't return the HD, because I bought it from a computer show. I know there must be ways for me to use this... I know there are ATA controller cards, and do cables like "ata-to-ide" exist?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
I don't think so.Quote:

What kind is it?
I'll trade you.
You don't think so?
It's a Barracuda 120GB @7200rpm SATA
If all else fails, I'll make a trade.
Correct.Quote:

I've never seen such a thing, but then again, I've never looked, either.
BTW, I have a Western Digital 160GB, 7200rpm w/ 8Mb cache.
And my board supports SATA.
They have them in the UK so they must have then where you live.

So much for the "Infested Cats and Clocker Send Each Other Things" thread.

I was sort of wondering if anyone could reccomend something specific.
