Hello people of ifixit I was wondering if I changed the hard drive motherboard with another hard drive motherboard would I lose any data.
Why are you doing this? What are the symptoms? Do you have a back-up of its contents? If it is exactly the same model it COULD possibly work but no promises. Now you tell us! SATA and IDE do not mix. Let me get this straight. The data is on the IDE drive - is that correct?Is it in a working computer or not?Do you have a working computer? If it does not have an IDE interface just buy an IDE to SATA adapter/converter cable and plug it in.
