I am wondering if this is a little overambitious.
Am trying to fit a 2005 toshiba 2.5" IDE 40GB laptop hdd into a 1995 AST 812 desktop. The original 3.5" IDE HDD was only 850 MB!
I bought a 2.5" HDD adapter yesterday and had to pull one of the pins out (I'm not sure if this is right or I should buy one which has 39 pins and has been correctly constructed - or a waste of my money...).
Got into the BIOS and says that Primary IDE Master & Slave and Secondary IDE Master & Slave not installed.
The disk has been completely reformatted, though I don't think this is the issue. Has anyone had any luck with a similar experiment?
Thanks.
