I bought this adapter, and yes there is not much help level manual so I let my maneuver performed.
First of all we mean by IDE to SATA or SATA to IDE including motherboard to hardware. (Eg, my motherboard is SATA drive and my idea, so I plugged the cable sata 2)
Then I turned on my pc Normally, a window tells me that new hardware is detected. But it does not work yet, it took me why restarted my pc February 1 th time, and my player is started normally.
Hoping you have helped out.
