Hi Everyone,
this is my first post please be nice 
I have an old laptop which has a busted 40GB IDE HDD, i have recently upgraded my netbooks SATA HDD so i have a spare SATA HDD to put into my old laptop to fix it.....
here lies the problem... old laptop IDE new HDD SATA....
i have seen an adaptor in cooldrives.com or something although not sure if this will work....
Options:
1: Man up and buy another 2.5" IDE HDD and use the SATA HDD as external with enclosure...
2: take a punt on this adaptor thingo
3: ?????????
the laptop boots BIOS but when loading anything it errors bad disk
Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated
Thanks
Pete
