This pc has an ATX CPU with a m2n78-la motherboard. I am trying to connect a IDE hard drive. Is there a data port for the ide cable or access?

Sorry but that motherboard does not have an IDE connector.

Thanks; your answer will help as I try another method. Is it possible to use an adapter to make the connection?
