Umm...I don't have the old messages kicking around for reference (so if
I'm way off base here, put me in my place).
I'm assuming the old motherboard wasn't ATA100 capable, so if you took
out the old IDE cable and used that in the new one things have been
known to go haywire for pure hardware reasons (though nothing to worry
about). So ATA100 compliant IDE cable should leave things fine.
Once again, I haven't slept forever, which is when I tend to end up
being full of crap :)
