Note:
Some customers complain for this adapter doesn't work,actually,this adapter works well on most of motherboards,please note both the hard drive and adapter need to plug the power cable in,if not,system will not recognize the hard drive,like Maestro says,The power connector is not to feed your drive -- the adapter requires it own power from the power supply,some customers says it just hangs with a black screen when rebooting Windows XP system,that is correct,that means system has found your hard drive and it need time 2-3 minutes to recognize it,just please wait 2-3 minutes and then you can log into window xp and see it.
Some other customers says they were failed to convert SATA to IDE,please make sure there is an IDE slot on the motherboard and the data cable plugged into the right place "IDE HOST=>SATA HD",it doesn't come with SATA HD power cable,customers should get one somewhere to make the card work.
