If you're planning to switch from IDE to S-ATA then you'll have to change your Hard-drive since it's probably running a 4-Pin Molex and IDE's.

it was never a IDE, it came as a SATA. But your saying that since it is acting up, just go ahead and order another one?

Oh so it did come with a S-ATA? Well, did you connect it yet? And sure if you want to get another one since this is the Hard-drive that has been causing you problems correct?
Yeah, this is the only harddrive I gotten for this computer, I believe that once i get, I have to take it to a shop to get the SATA drivers put in, because I have no Floopy drive. Do you think I should go ahead and buy a IDE instead?????
Windows XP install does not have driver support for SATA or SCSI controllers, you need to manually load your SATA or RAID device drivers from a floppy prior to the installation. You will be looking for the following prompt:
"Press F6 to install third party SCSI/RAID device drivers"
"Press F6 to install third party SCSI/RAID device drivers"

No no, you do not need to bring your hard-drive into a shop. The motherboard seems to already have S-ATA Connector's 3gb/s. I think that's the motherboard I'm looking at.
okok, well, now at the CMOS screen, only the cd/DVD drive shows up and my hard drive doesn't show up anymore on one of the master slots. Whats the deal? it showed up before...

The hard-drive doesn't show up? What the
. Did you connect the S-ATA cables in the correct spots? Did you plug in the S-ATA Cable and the 4pin-15pin Power Cable? Oh man, if you hear a click, then there is something wrong with the disc readers inside the hard-drive.- Status
