    At this point don’t even bother with IDE

  13. xmagistar says:

    so is it possible to install one IDE HD and one sata HD on the same computer?

    Then What?? My Vista PC (with a proprietary Acer case with a hard-to-find power supply) took a Sh*T! Now I would like to take that hard drive clear it and put it in my XP machine but I’m not sure how to do that. The hard drive still has Vista on it (Vista 64 bit). My Xp Machine has XP 32 bit. Anybody have any suggestions?
