Re: ATA & IDE?

[Jonathan Newman]

ATA and IDE are one and the same. IDE is the standard, and ATA is the

compatible with one another. so here is the question: did the old drive 
work before you removed it?

Are ATA and IDE the ame thing? I am asking this because I have a Beige

hard drive in red pen is ATA. I tried putting several regular IDE hd's 
and
none of them would work. Please help! ~ Ben ~
