Am I screwed?

[SirChadwick]

I have a SCSI hdd, but an IDE based motherboard. IS there any possible way I can get it to work? Are the 2 compatible? Thanks in advance.

A SCSI PCI card comes to mind.

Well I didn't really care to purchase anything. I simply removed the drive from a computer at work because I constantly get a disk boot error when trying to get XP to run from the CD-ROM. I figured I would removed the drive and try hooking it up to my home computer to format it and that's where I ran into the SCSI IDE problem.

Send me $40 and I will send you a scsi card.

omfg, grrr

By boot disk error, do you mean the Windows XP installation cd will not boot in your cd-rom drive? Or do you get to the point in the install and it can't find the HDD. Or do you succesfully install XP and it just doesn't boot up on the programed restart in the XP installation?

Thank you for creating another thread asking a stupid question after the mods already moved your first to the correct forum.

Your knighthood is revoked!

(How old is the SCSI drive? Is it a good idea to use a really old HD?)

Stupid question eh? Have you never asked a question in regards to something you didn't quite understand?...

I apologize if you are God, but I didn't think you knew everything!

And for the number, the mods didn't move it to the correct forum....... they deleted it. I posted it again under Technical Support after realizing you were just here to nef and be of no help whatsoever.
