Hello guys,
I called up Dell on this one and they had no idea... So I have a new Dell p4 3.2 with 80gb sata drive. The Motherboard has 4 slots for new hard drives SATA0 (pirmary hd) SATA1, SATA2, SATA3. I purchased the ide to SATA converter from local electronics store. This little pc board plugs into the back of the ide hard drive plug in a small power cord and a large one, the SATA cord and then plug the SATA cord into SATA1. Instructions say to make sure jumper is set to master(SATA thing I guess). I turn on the computer and go into bios and enable the SATA port. The computer sees the hard drive in bios fine. When I start windows I get 50% of the time a hardware error bsod (which says contact vendor). But when windows does start the hard drive is not present, even in disk manager. Partition magic does not see it... The drive was working fine (is currently empty) in a regular IDE hookup situation. Any ideas?
