you gotta check if your motherboard supports SATA (i doubt it)

you're better off going with IDE because i'm sure your mobo supports IDE
 
thanks for the quick reply. i don't know anything about cpu's. only installed an ethernet card. not sure how to check mobo. i figured since it said ata-100 on hd it would work. how do i check the mobo.
 
forgot to say i think my curent hd is about to quit on me. during start up and shut down it is making a grinding noise.
 
Grinding = not good.

Like diablo said, unless your mobo is fairly new (like, brand new), you prabably do not have SATA. Go with a regular IDE drive.
