SATA to IDE converter question

Hard drive in my computer died. I have another hard drive in my other computer but the problem is that hard drive is SATA and in this computer I have IDE interface. I do not have money to buy new hard drive at this point so I would like to attach this SATA hard drive somehow on computer with IDE interface. Is there any SATA to IDE converter on market?

You are lucky. SATA to IDE converters exist. They are small devices that you attach on SATA hard drive and then attach IDE cable on this device which has IDE connector on the other side. They work correctly and cost around 30USD. Considering hard drive prices this might not be a good option to buy because new hard drive is not much more expensive, especially if you buy smaller one.
