Hey, I lent my friend my only SSD for his PC. I still had this IDE hard drive, which would have been perfect, but it didn't have a connector that would connect it directly to the motherboard, so I'm using the IDE to USB adapter. Now I'm having trouble with Windows not allowing it (see image). I'd appreciate any solutions. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I would like to plug my 32 GB SanDisk microSD Ultra HC into my computer. I get the "Device detected" sound, and it shows up in Device Manager, but I can't see it in File Explorer.

I have a USB stick (128GB, 200MB fast) and when I boot from the USB stick everything works, but I can't get to the point where I can set up speech, etc. It freezes or stays on a black screen.
Hello, I want to install a new SSD in my laptop. The problem is, I have little to no knowledge of it. My question: Does it make a difference which SSD I buy? I know they read at different speeds, for example, but by difference, I mean are there different models? So, maybe one model…
Hey everyone, I'm now in total despair. I reset my Windows 11 because I had a coin miner on it and it wouldn't go away. During the reset, data became corrupted which ruined the entire Windows on my hard drive. So I prepared a Windows 10 USB stick (I want Windows 10) and wanted to…
My friend always said 1 SSD with 500GB or 1TB and the 2nd SSD then 1 TB to 4TB my thing, but why 2, the only thing he says is Windoof on the first SSD and everything else on the 2nd I've reset my PC a few times and each time I had to do…
In principle, I don’t understand the meaning behind your project, but I’d be something like this try.
Hello
That’s very generous of you and your friend is sure to be happy now, but you’re looking stupid out of the laundry as you say. No, it wasn’t a good idea of you, even if your behavior was very social.
This is a 40GB IDE HDD. What’s that supposed to be perfect for? At best, the Windows installation fits on it and that was it.
This is correct, the Windows does not allow installation on external removable disks. The hard drive should be internally installed and connected, to an IDE host adapter or to a SATA host adapter with SATA-IDE converter.
2.5″ 44 Pin IDE HDD on SATA Converter
3.5″ 40 Pin IDE HDD on SATA Converter
This allows you to connect an IDE hard drive to an internal SATA port.
However, this makes no sense for a 40GB HDD nowadays. The converter would be more expensive than the residual value of a 40GB HDD. For under 20,-€ there is already a small 256GB SATA SSD
240GB – 256GB SATA SSD’s

All right has Linux Mint installed on it xdd
is there: on external not supported, so install and then isolate SO you usually do it
unless you make it Install Windows 11/Windows 10 on external hard drive – With WIN TO GO (diskpart.com)
Could I do it with an adapter on the pcie slot? Perhaps it will recognize it as internal

This (as an example) would be suitable to get an IDE drive internally to run. Only if Windows 10 provides suitable drivers for this, as they must already be present during installation? Ggfs. you would have to create an adapted installation medium and integrate the associated drivers via slipstream yourself.
why do you want to go on a PCIe slot? put the HDD in the PC where it should run and install Win
Or can I install Linux on it?
I don’t know if you can. You know
Don’t make sense.
Okay
Can you install Linux on it?
You have to get a SSD.
Listen.
You’re old
A HDD is too slow.
Some operating systems seem to support it
