Can I put a Maxtor hard drive (used) on a Dell Rev A02 motherboard?
Written by admin on April 15, 2009 – 10:04 am -Trying to put together a computer from used parts. Can't get it to recognize the hard drive but it sees the scsi card.By the way, what is that?
yes you can provided the hard drive has an IDE interface rather than a SATA interface. if you see 2 long rows of pins on the back of the drive then its IDE and your in good shape, if those pins arent there then your up a creek without a paddle.
i feel i should also point out that if your using an old operating system (OS) on the computer then you should also ensure that you can fformat the drive for NTFS rather than FAT or FAT32 as they will probably not make use or even see the entirety of the drives capasity.
good luck
