Hi. My Gigabyte S-Series mainbourd has 4 SATA ports and only one IDE port. My problem is that my current hard drive and cd/dvd drive are both IDE however with only one IDE port I cannot hook both of them to the same port. Where can I get a sata cd/dvd reader/writer drive? The stores in my area are Circuit City / Future Shop, BestBuy, PC Club, CompUSA, among others whom do you recommend I buy the drive from, what brand should I get, and why?

First question.
Yes you can use the two drives on one IDE cable.
