I just bought a gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 mobo and completely forgot about my optical drive that uses IDE.

The new mobo only has Sata connectors.

What can I do ? I can't install windows in the meantime without my optical drive :(.

So disappointed can't use it tonight ! Lol

Ahh , okay ! Thanks though

I am also curious what these converters are called, I'm having a hard time finding them on the Internet.

Money is tiiiiight, so preferably I'd like to buy a converter, assuming that a converter (whatever it's called) is cheaper than buying a new drive , which I don't want to do if it's more expensive xD
