I have a 2 year old motherboard [GAMILLA2-GL6E(MS-6577)] with Intel 845GV chipset, which i think is not SATA compatible. Can I upgrade my PC with a newer 250 GB SATA drive? I also want to keep my older PATA hard drive.

the only way i found to connect a sata to an ide harddrive is through the usb, but you could run it all inside the desktop if you really want to hook up a sata for the speed. Good luck and check the link bellow for tigerdirects adapters.

Well you can go for an external case where you mount the internal drive in an external case that has a SATA connector and plug the USB or firewire cable coming out of the case to your PC. It'll be slow and most such devices are hard to come by and are often unreliable but that's about all you can do short of a motherboard upgrade!
I recommend the new Foxconn 965 based mobo available for less than $100

in all probability no longer in the journey that your previous motherboard has thoroughly died. residing house windows 2000 as much as residing house windows XP has what's referred to as the HAL. that is in certainty the hardware layer that residing house windows runs on and is particularly difficult coded to the hard disk chipset driving force. there's a paintings around to be waiting to alter to the default yet you're able to do it interior the somewhat working setting up. once you alter the controller you will get a blue show screen each and every time the equipment tries to boot. to no longer point out you will could image the documents from the oldpersistent to the recent one which could be a discomfort while coping with RAID arrays as some application does not paintings fairly suitable with them with the aid of various distinctive varieties. you would be better off loading clean on the recent drives and putting the oldpersistent in as a slave long sufficient to repeat the documents over right into a restoration folder and seize out in easy terms what you decide on.

No I looked everywhere for this - there is no adapter or anything like it. You'll need to get a new board!
