1.	Solve : Connecting SATA dvd drive to IDE dvd drive?
Answer» Hello all, novice here with a problem. I am (ENJOYING) building a PC but I am having a problem. I am taking an IDE dvd BURNER from my very OLD PC and trying to install it into the new build. How can I connect the IDE dvd burner to the SATA dvd burner that is in the new computer? Do I need some kind of SATA to IDE adapter? If so, where can I find it? Thanks for any help or suggestions. TAre you sure your motherboard has no IDE connector? Many have only one. They do make adapters, but I haven't had much success with them. It's almost as cheap to buy a new burner.Some boards don't have them now. My new board does, but if it didn't, it wouldn't matter as I'm not using it. If there's no connector and you have a SATA drive, I'd just leave the IDE out unless you're planning on doing lots of disc to disc on the fly burning. I believe there are adapters, can't tell you where at the MOMENT, posting this from my phone.
