Is the IDE adapater a card or an adapter? You might have got an IDE controller that plugs into PCI slot.. in this case you will need drivers for it, it will not show the drives in BIOS but on a separate screen. Also to load windows you will need to supply the Windows setup with correct drivers for it.
As for adapters I do not know - it would help if you could show me exactly what kind of an adapter did you get.

Just a thought but, do you have to enable SATA in the Bios set up ?

 

[poppins122325]

no its not the pci card type

i have to plug it into the back of the dvd burner

There may be a separate power plug for the adapter card. Have you seen/connected one?

 

[poppins122325]

i have connected the power cable they provided which converts a 12v molex into a floppy style plug

Can you post a link/picture of the product, please?
