I'm new to this forum, and to building computers, so please bear with me. I just built my first rig, and it's got the e6600 processor and the Asus P5B deluxe mboard. I mistakenly tried to plug 3 IDE hard drives in at once, and it fried one of them. It had a lot of really important stuff on it, and I don't want the same thing to happen to the one that still works. Right now I have 1 80 gig hard drive plugged in, with 2 partitions. I recently bought 2 SATA hard drives. I don't think I need RAID, and one HD is half the size of the other anyway. Here is my question: How do I install the SATA hard drives without losing information on my IDE hard drive? Can they even work simultaneously? Thanks very, very much for your time guys.
