New Member Posts: 2 OS: Windows XP	I have installed my old IDE hard drive useing promise tech. PCI IDE card in my new computer that has a SATA drive . When it starts it shows that the old hard drive is recognized but the screen goes blank and will not boot up. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?

I think it should be set to cable select. It could be that the promise controller is interfering with the sata controllers. Have you tried using a USB adapter on the IDE drive? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16812156017 SRX660
