Why not just borrow the IDE cable from the Mom's machine?
Looks to me like the board has an IDE slot at the bottom of the board in the second picture.
lol ok ok from the earlier post about the jumper if booting with out the jumper doesn't work then yes use the cs cable select putting it to slave will result into configuring it again
also these guys are very correct you have a old machine that just died why not use the parts it is there for the taking but be warned you WEI might get shifted if the hardware is too old
besides you are better off purchasing a cheap drive with more space and speed for indexing also i might add if you're mom really needs a pc asap you can help her build a effcient one for her for the price of 200.00 easy im sure she doesn't need much if her system is over 10 years old
Unless they plan on booting off a PATA hard drive that's 10 years old, I don't think it will be a problem
