Hard Disk Drives are used to store various types of data in them. There are Internal and External Hard Disks. External Hard Disks just connect to the USB ports like Pen drives. Internal Hard Disks connect to the Motherboard. Like Optical Drives Internal Hard Disks support PATA (Parallel AT Attachment)/IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) or SATA (Serial AT Attachment) ports. PATA/IDE technology is now ancient, so the modern day drives use SATA ports instead of PATA/IDE. Only if you have a HDD which was made before the year 2003 then you'll need to connect that drive to the big fat PATA/IDE port. This article will explain the ways of connecting a Hard Disk Drive to a Desktop PC.


Connecting an Optical Disk Drive Using PATA/IDE Port:


1. Detect the PATA/IDE port.



2. Get a PATA/IDE cable.



3. Insert the drive into the Computer Case.

4. Attach it firmly with the case with two screws.

5. Connect One end of the cable to the drive and the other end to the Motherboard.

6. Grab a Power Cable of the Power Supply.



7. Connect it with the power port of the Hard Drive.

Connecting an Optical Disk Drive Via SATA Port:

1. Insert the drive in the PC case.

2. Attach it with the case with screws.

3. Find the SATA Ports on the Motherboard.




4. Get a SATA Data Cable.




5. Connect One end of the cable to the drive and the other end to the Motherboard.

6. Get a SATA Power Cable.




7. Connect its fat end to a power cable from the power supply.

Win32 Sality viruses affect your PC when you insert a USB memory drive that has a Win32.Sality virus in it or when you download some infected files from the internet. These viruses can cause the following problems:


  • Task Manager disabled – Your Task Manager will not work
  • Registry Editor (REGEDIT) stops working
  • Folder Options tools won't work – Folder Options inaccessible
  • Infected .EXE files – Some of the .EXE files will stop working and display error messages. Programs and applications will not work
  • PC slows down

How to Remove Win32 Sality Virus

  1. Download an antivirus or internet security software and install.
  2. Run a Full Scan.
  3. Don't run any programs or applications during the scan.
  4. Delete or heal the infected files from the scan result.
  5. Restart your computer.
  6. Done.
You can download Kaspersky or AVG both are good at removing Win32 Sality. I used both softwares. AVG has a feature that heals infected files where Kaspersky is much more strict and fast.

Sometimes you might have to reinstall Windows then install antivirus software to scan infected files on other drives. Win32 Sality kills EXE files. Don't give this virus time to infect more files.
