Huh? What's this message???
When I bot my PC, at the BIOS boot screen, I get this message:
Primary IDE no 80 conductor (blablablah, I don't remember the end of the message) What's this? What does it mean?

It means that you're using a 40 wires IDE cable. This kind of cable is a bit old, and all newer HDs require 80 wires IDE cable. Note that both cables have 40 pins, so both of them fit any IDE drive. But the UltraATA 66, 100 and 133 requires this 80 wires cable. Buy the new cable, or your hd will be limited to UltraATA 33.
