Thanks. There is an update. But rather than risk frying my wife's
motherboard, I've taken the easy way out for now and popped an IDE drive
in to do backups. It's barely big enough, so I'll probably look out for
a bigger IDE drive and be done with it.
Regards, Barry.
You might find it could be an SATA cable. Chances are you're not going
to find a big IDE drive easily now as everything is going down the route
of SATA.
You may however find that either a PCI (or PCI Express) SATA controller
or an IDE to SATA convertor may also do the job (it allows you to use an
SATA drive on an IDE connection)...
