QUOTE(mono_demon @ Oct 20 2007, 04:29 PM) open ur pc casing, just check the connectors on the mobo.. if it is small one, then it would be sata.. if its long, then it is ide/pata/ata.. if u want to change to sata hdd while ur connector is ide/pata/ata, just buy the converter.. around rm30 if im not mistaken.. sorry but what type of connectors ?
