565373 2007-07-03 09:28:00 You can use IDE to SATA adaptors. Dicky Smiths sell them. radium (8645)

Haven't seen a board yet that had no IDE at all. Most have 1 now.

565376 2007-07-03 10:59:00 According to this (www.overclockers.com.au) your motherboard does support IDE. Myth (110)

I tried using those on some optical drives when I replaced my old CPU & m/board. Didn't do much apart from slowing down the boot process :) I had to buy a SATA burner.

Didn't test them on my HDDs as they were working fine on the IDE cable.
