Yep! you're right. i already used the only IDE port for my HDD & DVD burner. I have a another IDE HDD. That's why i brought this but didn't work :( hoping to buy a PCI IDE card that have 2 IDE port which is better.

Set the jumpers to Slave the drive and it will show up and recover the files.

okay, so I just got this adapter from radio shack, and the drive doesn't show up, not even in bios boot options. I'm trying to recover files from it, so I don't want to reformat it (even if that were an option, as the drive doesn't show) Did you find a way to get your drive to show up?

I also bought some from Ebay (Hong Kong) really cheap. I had problems with hard drive detection too, but found it was due to the hard drive configuration. Not sure, but think I set them to either 'Master' or took all the config. jumpers out. I do remember 'cable select' not working.

They are fragile though - on a couple of occassions without thinking I started the PC up after forgetting to connect the power to the converter, so did so while it was on - and killed the converter.
