I have a Seagate 80gb Hard Drive that is a IDE. I just bought a new DELL Dimension E310. It has a 80gb SATA 2 Hard Drive. The motherboard does not have anyplace where I can connect my older IDE Hard Drive . Is there anyway that the older IDE Hard Drive can be connected to my new computer as a secondary Hard Drive?
Someone told me that I can use one of the CD ROM connections to connect to my Hard Drive, will that work?
If not what can I do?

YES IF the CDROM are on an IDE interface (which they most likley are), and if not then you can still find IDE interface PCI cards.

I`ve never used one myself but i assume they would work ok
