I am trying to connect a SATA DVD drive to my all IDE Motherboard. I purchased the SATA to IDE converter adapter and the cables to go with it.
When i boot up i get nothing to indicate that there is a DVD drive installed. I tried several combinations such as Master/slave; only install one drive; switch to port i know works. Nothing in the add hardware or device manager.Nothing in the bootup sequence.
I have XP PRO SP2. I have another IDE DVD drive that works fine.
What am i doing wrong?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
