I just bought Western digital WD2500JD ATA hard drive for my HP pavilion
a475c. It seems that there isn't any serial ATA connector on the
motherboard. I guess I would need your confirmation on this and if this is
right, what is your comments on buying an adaper? Thanks.

Yes, then I have two connectors and all I need is a cable. Any ATA will
work? Thanks.
