New SATA Hardrive Connection
I own an HP Pavillion dv4000 laptop. This computer has been used sparingly; however, it has a defective Seagate 5400 RPM 100 GB hardrive. As a replacement I ordered a new Seagate 7200 RPM 120 GB hardrive. I did not realize that the new hardrive was a serial ATA connection and the old hardrive was the ATA ultra connection (parallel). What type of converter (if any) do you think I should buy to solve this problem? From what I have seen so far, the most efficient way is to physically replace the connection.
Thanks for everyones help.
