Hello, All,
I'd like to use my old ide drives in my new Dell xps8100. However, I
really DON'T feel comfortable in doing so myself!! IDE TO SATA , is to
me, confusing...
http://www.amazon.com/Newer-Technology-StoraDrive-2-Pack-anti-static/dp/tech-data/B005OSZ49A/ref=de_a_smtd?ie=UTF8&m=A3UW28G9WPPLAW
... This URL is the type I want, a dual enclosure, to house both IDE
hard drives. I specifically asked for an IDE controller built into the
Dell, they said they couldn't do THAT??
From what I read on the net regarding this issue, plug n play via
USB sounds so easy!!!? I'm sure it's NOT!
If someone would like to help me accomplish this task, I'll give them
or donate my old Dell dimension 4550...Still works great.
Thanks for any info/help.
John in Dallas
