[QUOTE="jhelm007, post: 137155, member: 6916"] The ata chip on the motherboard is not removable, but you can install an ATA PCI host adapter for about $70. I'm not sure why the 300 GB drive won't just work on the built in controller though. I've never installed anything bigger than 80Gig on mine, but that works fine on the built in connector. [/QUOTE]
