Hi all i dont know much about computers so take it easy on me. I have a pc with a 180gb ide hard drive and am wanting to put in a 1gb sata hard drive. My question is can i use an ide hard drive at the same time as a sata hard drive, the mother board has 2 sata ports but is there a limit to the size of the hard drive that you can use on an older mother board.
If i can add a sata drive is it just the same as adding an ide drive in the way of formatting it with windows.
Once i have done this i want to move all the stuff from the ide drive to the sata drive, is this easy to do?
Thanks
