Answer» I have an ATA (IDE) 40-pin interface CONNECTOR and a new SATA hard drive. How should I connect the SATA hard drive to my computer?
If you need more HARDWARE information, I can PM you an EVEREST Home Edition report.If your motherboard does not have a SATA connector, you'll need to install a sata controller card.there are SATA to IDE conectors you can pick up at bestbuy or most store'sThank you for the link. After looking at all the different choices, I decided it would be easier (and cheaper) to return the SATA hard drive and get a hard drive with the CORRECT interface connector. You made a good choice. Less confusion and less hardware.
