Fitting a solid state drive?

Hi, wondered if anyone could shed some light on this.

I want to fit a solid state drive to my Roadhog. I am aware of the possible speed issues but want to fit one as my desk got dropped yesterday and the hard drive is not well and want to prevent issues should something like this happen again.

Now, the Roadhog drive is IDE and all the SSD I have seen are SATA.

Will A SATA drive connect to the Roadhog motherboard and be recognized and install the operating system ok?

Any info greatly appreciated!

    The Roadhog should support a SATA drive. Do you have a standard SATA drive you can try? First make sure it works with that.

    I believe the smallest drive we ever shipped in the RH was 80gig; It may be that the installer can't handle a driver smaller than that, but I'm not really sure.

    If you get it installed on a standard drive, you could try using a tool like ghost to clone the standard drive to the SSD.

    None of this is officially supported, I'm just throwing out some ideas that may help you.
