Want to get a new HDD, don't know if it will work on my PC.

So here it is, short. I want to get a new HDD, but all I can find is Serial ATA disks, and I think that my current Maxtor HDD has an IDE port. Is it somehow possible to make it compatible with SATA, or will I have to find an IDE after all?

Does your mobo support Sata?
If not get IDE.
get Sandra and check out whether your HDD is sata or IDE. And also its speed. Get a compatible one.

If your board supports it, get SATA. Doesn't really matter if your other drive is IDE.
