ok, here goes. A friend of mine purchased an upgrade harddrive for her Dell. The problem is dell sent here a 250gb hard drive which is SATA interface. we bought an SATA to IDE adapter but cant format or partition the drive. Is the drive too large? Do I have to set up different jumpers? I booted from the installation CD of Windows XP but while its installing drivers and such the installation halts and we get an error.
