We don't need to know the type of hard drive we need to know the type of CONTROLLER. What is the make and model # of your motherboard? If you dunno open your case and take out a torch (Flashlight) and then tell us what it says on it. Yes there is a SH*TLOAD of tiny writing but we need the bigger writing, it will say something like Gigabyte, MSI, whatever. Then on another place will be a random set of numbers and letters we need those 2. If all else fails then take a GOOD pic of the mobo with everything out of the way (Video card, cables and such) DO NOT remove the CPU!
