Converting IDE drive to SATA

azrael6699 · 11-06-2009, 01:36 PM

I just replaced my Mobo in my computer. Originally, I had two ROM drives and a Hard Disk drive hooked onto my old Mobo. There were two IDE slots on the board.

Now, my new board has only one IDE slot and six SATA slots... Is there a way to convert an IDE hard drive to plug into one of the SATA slots? Any cables or where to get them.

I already checked newegg for some, but all the ones I could find were for the other way around (Switching Sata to IDE)

Please help.
