I bought one of these Sintechi ide to sd adapters for a laptop i had.
i tried 2 sd cards different brands and sizes and same problem happened
When i boot my Dell 5000e, i can see the "Sintechi..." word on boot screen and being detected as a drive, but it hangs the laptop after the Sintechi word on the screen and never boots correctly. Have to push the power-on-off button
sometimes its not even detected and fdisk quits because there is no drive.
one of the sd cards works properly and is formated with windows98 (because i did use it on a thinkpad laptop, i even re-inserted it on the thinkpad after the dell and it booted win98 correctly)
so Dells are not compatible?
should i go to plan B and use a CF to ide adapter? what the hell is going on with Dell.
