I got a new harddrive for my desktop because I ran out of room haha. And I couldn't find an IDE drive so I had to get a SATA drive.
1. First, is there an adapter, maybe at MicroCenter, that will allow me to run the IDE Driver alongside the SATA drive?
But incase I can't, here is my problem. I got the harddrive installed and all that great stuff. But when I start up the computer I get the NTLDR is missing, which I was like maybe its because my OS hasn't been installed yet. I put in the dell operating system disk, and it won't start up to the disk, when I go to check the start-up order, it says the CD-Rom isn't installed. So, is there a install diskette that I can download, or am I just going about this all wrong?
