Hello, all.
My friend has recently upgraded to a new hard drive, CPU, and motherboard, but wishes to transfer his old Windows installation to the new drive. However, his original HD is a PATA drive, and not compatible with the motherboard he purchased. Is there an adapter cable that could be used to connect the older, PATA drive to the new SATA motherboard in order to transfer the files? I have found plenty that do the opposite, that is, connect a SATA hard drive to a PATA motherboard.
Thanks.
