Default Installing a New HD...Help!
Ok so yesterday i started hearing a clicking inside my computer and i think it's my HD.. and now i wanted to get a new HD cause my HD is really old and i think i need to change it. It's a IDE HD and i was thinking of getting a SATA HD..i was thinking of getting this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148262

Ok so the one that i'm replacing is an IDE connected to my CD/CDC drive..if i installed a SATA HD what should i do with the one that was connected to my old HD? sorry it's kinda hard to explain...

I don't understand the question. You take out the old IDE H/D, leave the end of the IDE cable hooked up to the CD ROM, then you install the SATA H/D. As long as your board and PSU are SATA compatable your fine.

BTW I have several of those H/D's, they work great.

I'm really nervous.

Just googled your board and it does have SATA ports so you should be fine.
