Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Installing SATA HDD As Slave On IDE MB

**Deleted090308** · 04-13-2008, 02:22 PM

The adapter only supports SATA 1 (the drive is SATA 2).
Put the drive's jumper in the "Opt1" psition.

Make the "old" HDD master - hooked up at the end of the ribbon cable.

Set the jumper on the adapter to "Slave" and hook the new HDD up at the middle of the cable.

If the computer has no SATA ports I wonder if it will be able to see more than 137GB of the drive.
