Well it's not too hard to look up the diff online and I'm a student so I have a college library too of electronic books; lots of resources. I see the cable for ID is 40-pin while the cable for SATA is only 7 pin. Appears from the verbiage inside the CMOS Setup utility that this PC has an IDE hard drive. Yes I have opened it up before.

Thx.
