Outstanding! Thank you very much. I was able to use the ribbon and attach it to the motherboard. Then upon start up, I went to the bios and selected the new '3rd Master' hard drive to boot first. Transferred all my music and other select file and I'm good to go. I guess my next question would be, I want to keep the HDD in there but how do I get the computer to boot up the same without having to access the bios every time? I tried starting it normally and it went back to booting from the IDE drive instead of the SATA HDD. And does it matter that the old HDD is slower? Will this effect my computer or make it run hotter or harm it in any way? Thanks again and I'll await your response.
