I have a MSI K7 Motherboard... it has a SATA power cable but no data cable. Which kind of confuses me. Please help. Thanks =)
A word of advice ... if you plan to install Windows on this new drive you will need to prepare a driver disk for the SATA adapter. During the first stages of Windows install it will ask you to press F6 to install any third party drivers for RAID or SCSI .... without it Windows may not detect the adapter hence the SATA drive. regards, Philip T
the prvios responses are precise, yet there is two extra issues to evaluate. a million. till you're development your very own new pc, establishing the case advert putting this 2nd stressfulpersistent in will void the guaranty on any new pc this is keep offered or oredered from dell, etc. 2. The stressfulpersistent has jumpers on it that tell the stressfulpersistent what function it has. Ie cable choose, grasp, slave, secondary slave. maximum drives are set to cable choose from the production facility, so be beneficial to plug it into the 2d plug on your unique ide ribbon cable. each from time to time you certainly would desire to alter the jumper to slave in case you purely have an ide cable with a single connector. i'd in my opinion shop the old pc working, connect it to a router/swap and share the cpersistent out. Then i'd get right of entry to the old one from my new pc and replica purely the documents i'd desire to my new one. Your documents are oftentimes placed ordinarily if no longer completely interior of your profile folder. this variety you're purely copying image documents, song, faves, etc.. Makes it much less stressful to ward off copying over a virulent disease or any corruption. reliable luck and congrats!
