Hey guys,
Im a noob to the forums here, but here goes.
I have reciently upgraded to a brand new Dell Dimension E521 Desktop which has a 160GB SATA drive in it, but i find no connectors (power or data) for my 30 GB IDE hard drive from a previous machine.
I plan to use OSL2000 as an os loader to ask me each time when i boot up
My problem:
Now, id like to use my 30 GB hdd (running windows ME)in my new Dell Desktop but i have no connectors for it! ive attempted to use my existing data cable from my previous machine to see if at least my data cable will work for the 30 GB drive, but the connector is too long...Is there a way i can connect my 30 GB Drive using SATA power and data connectors?
I hope ive been clear...If not let me know. Any help would be much apprieciated.
Thanks,
GD
