i have a SATA hard disk and i connected it with a sata power cable and recently i bought a sata optical drive and i have no power cable for connecting the drive, so i decided to connect it with the power cable of hard disk(I have two sata hard disk)
You might want to get these at a local computer shop though or you'll pay more for shipping than you will for the wire itself. I would suggest the 1 SATA to 3 SATA seeings as we already know you have SATA power connectors.
while you're meaning are you able to boot off of the IDE annoying force and get entry to the Sata force, the respond is sure. in basic terms connect the SATA annoying force, and make beneficial the BIOS settings are set to boot from the IDE force.
