C Carl365 Honorable Nov 20, 2012 3 0 10,510 Nov 20, 2012 #1 Hello and thank you. I have a older computer, (2003) that has a IDE ribbon cable on the CD drive. I was given a DVD drive that has a SATA connector. Question: In order to use this SATA DVD drive, do I just get a IDE to SATA adapter? Thank you, Carl
