    Found a Sky+ box with 160GB HDD in dump

    My old man found a sky + box in the dump yesterday with 160GB HDD inside. I was delighted as I thought I could install it in my CT9100 until I took it out and realised its an Ultra ATA and not SATA. Is there any way of using this in the box or does it have to be SATA? I was thinking maybe a conversion cable or something.

          You could try a IDE to SATA adapter like this
