RoyaRandom Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I'm trying to convert my IDE optical drive to SATA, therefore I bought an IDE to SATA converter. But when i plugged it in to one of the SATA ports, my computer doesn't detected even thought the drive's power is on. I'm using a GA-EP35-DS3L. Any help? Thanks.
