Wes, I was thinking of doing this. My adapter will accept a 2.5" (laptop) IDE drive, a 3.5" optical drive, or any SATA drive, but no 3.5" IDE drive. Of course, I'll have all the data on the backup drive and can restore from there, too. This will probably need to wait for the weekend. Tonight I'll rum memtest86 on the new memory and see if that's the cause of the problems I've had since I built this new system. (Of course, the failed motherboard might have affected the hard drives, too, and the new installation would fix that.)
