zigan 0 Posted December 22, 2004 Hello, I wonder if someone could help me out here. (Forgive my computer unsavviness). I have a new Intel P4 with a motherboard with two SATA connections and a primary 160gb hard drive. I want to install my old 60gb IDE into one of the SATA connections as an extra drive and I thus bought an adapter on eBay. The adapter seems to do the job of connecting the old Maxtor IDE drive to the motherboard, but the drive comes up as not recognized despite changing the BIOS settings to "on". The computer doesn't even boot with the drive connected. any suggestions? zigan Share this post Link to post
