Bad IDE Port

Post by slimdog55 »

I think my secondary IDE port is bad. So I'm thinking about buying a IDE to SATA adapter for my hard drive. I would connect my hard drive to 1 of the 2 SATA ports I have on my motherboard, and my 2 disk drive to the primary IDE port. The secondary IDE port doesn't work like I said. But when I connect the disk drives to the primary IDE port, it works. I don't see why this wouldn't work, but I want someone to confirm that it would work. My dad asked me, "How do you know it will work?" He will buy it for my if it would work.

I'm getting this off eBay for $22, including S&H.
