probably not e-machines hate new hardware... your best bet is to buy an external hd that plugs in thru usb port

(Geforce 4mx 440 SE is your graphic card) And yes a SATA2 would work but there is 3 types of sata 1.5gb 3.0gb and 6.0gb depends on your motherboard sata connector speed... but normally a 2003 computer would work wit SATA2...
OH and u also need a native sata....
If you don't have native SATA get the pci connector thing

Probably not. You'll need a new motherboard or you can buy an pci add-in card that has a SATA2 connector.

If you don't have native SATA, then you can always add it by getting a SATA pci expansion card.
Also, most hard drive makes still come in both SATA and PATA versions. See if the drive you want comes in an IDE/PATA version.

you will most likely need a bios update to recognize large harddrives unless youve already had a harddrive in the machine over 130G ... and a sata card to plug it into ... im sure you could find a compareably priced ide model ....

while she ment "sparkling", she ment delete the information on the tensechronic. Plus, why might you positioned it interior the dishwasher. you won't be in a position to get it to paintings now when you consider which you destroyed it. you're able to desire to purchase a clean one. you won't be in a position to sue your mom. It won't even paintings and that's not superb.

Not as it is.
You would need an IDE drive or an SATA controller card

Firstly, I doubt if a SATA slot exists in your PC. If it does, update the BIOS from the motherboard's manufacturer'e site.
