Hard Drive Help

[gamer30]

Both of my hard drives use IDE cables, Im getting a new computer, and was planning to use my old drives, my new motherboard only comes with one IDE, and thats for my dvd drive, does this mean that I cant use them, and have to buy sata drives?

Nope, you can buy a SATA DVD drive, like this one..

MB nowsadays could usually hook up to 2 IDE device. So you can either buy a SATA HDD or a SATA DVD burner

You could always get a controller card to give you more ATA100 ports. Like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815104214
