My goal was to replace a friend's old SATA boot drive in in his Dell 9150/XPS 400 with another friend's old XP IDE boot drive. I removed the SATA drive from the Dell and sequentially connected the IDE drive to each of the devices listed below. I then connected those assemblies to the Dell PC. However the IDE driver was not recognized by the Dell BIOS in any of these configurations
1. VANTEC IDE TO SATA CONVERTER - CB-IS100
2. StarTech.com 1 Port PCI Express IDE Controller Adapter Card (PEX2IDE )
3. Remove the DVD burner from Dell's IDE connecor and replace with the IDE drive
4. IDE drive to Sabrent EC-UEIS7 as USB enclosure
5. IDE drive to Sabrent EC-UEIS7 as ESATA enclosure with BYTECC SATA-136EO SATA to e-SATA Cable
However, when the IDE drive was put in the Sabrent enclosure and connected to my Windows 7 PC using USB, the drive was recognized and booted to the XP splash screen where it (not surprisingly) aborted during the driver load sequence)
What else can I try?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Trish
