I'm trying to install an old IDE Drive from my last computer into my new computer. I purchased an Ultra SATA to IDE Converter. I have everything hooked up as it shows in the Ultra diagram, including the power supply to both the IDE drive, and Converter (it requires a 4-pin power connector, in addition to the SATA Cable). All of my connections are tight, and I tried using both a different connection from the power supply, and a different SATA port (switched from SATA 2 to SATA 3), but nothing will make this thing work. The LED light on it does light up.
When I first tried to boot with it, my USB mouse froze, Windows tried to install a driver, and the Driver installation failed. The IDE Drive will not show up in the BIOS. I'm very curious about this attempted driver installation, since it seems like that could be my missing link (of course, the product literature says it needs no drivers, but I've seen that be wrong many times in the past). The driver has not tried to install itself again, despite repeated reboots. The adapter does not show up in my device manager.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to get the correct driver installed, or any other way to get this adapter working. I don't think it's DOA, since the BIOS does hang for about 30 seconds trying to auto-detect the drive (so it definitely sees it), and as I mentioned, the LED light is working fine.
Thanks
PS: Should I have the Master/Slave/CS jumper attached to the drive? I removed it, since it seems pointless on a SATA motherboard.
