I'm wondering if changing my main hard drive from it's IDE connector to a SATA adapter (that came with my mobo) and then to the mobo SATA will that mess up my computer? Will I have to do any settings changing (other than enableing SATA)?
I need to do this cause I'm needing the IDE cable to connect to a removable rack setup for a hard drive (that i have to have for college). It wont reach the bays while it's connected to the main hd and i dont want to get another one.
