Hi everyone,
I have an old Dell Dimension 2350 that I put 8.04 on. Though everything works fine I'm limited by its 40GB drive so I bought a WD Caviar Blue drive, only to find that the box has only an IDE connector.
So, I'm thinking of buying a SATA controller and a power adapter to connect the WD as a second drive.
The question is would this work on this box with its old BIOS and if so which controller would work with Kubuntu.
Would appreciate any advice from people who've actually done this.
thanks,
Newbie
