Re: Hard drives
Why not? Just plug it in and see what happens! You may
need to tell your BIOS that you now have a SATA drive.

Re: Hard drives
Yes, just install it. You may need to install the SATA drivers for the
motherboard unless they are already installed. You will also have to partition and format the new drive. -- Jon Hildrum DTS MVP Jon_Hildrum@msn.com www.hildrum.com "Kevin (takeit)" <Kevintakeit@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:624F1EFC-94F8-49A4-B00C-E06C602F3607@microsoft.com... > O.k I have two hard drives on my computer using the Ide cables > I just got a 160 gig SATA harddrie as a gift, My mobo supports it > Its a Asus KV8 Deluxe SE, Can I use this hard drive on the SATA cable > as another hard drive?
