Welcome to TSF.

Those adapters are very unreliable IMHO.

I would get a fast IDE drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148316

...or a controller card + a SATA drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16816102061

Another thing is - your motherboard/BIOS may not support drives larger than 127GB.
