why wont sata hard drive power on?
i just put a 320gb sata drive in my desktop pc. it had no sata connectors so i bought a sata to pata (ide) adapter that plugs into the master ide channel. i also got a molex to sata power adapter. The ide converter has an led light to indicate power and that powers on, but the drive it self will not power on with any of the molex connectors. when i used the pata power pins on the hard drive the computer would not turn on at all. could this be a problem with my psu? the molex connectors will power my fans and cd drive but not the sata drive.
It very well could be a problem with your PSU.
This chart:

Will give you a pretty good idea as to how many watts you should have based on how many components you're running.
Another thing to remember is that with power supplies, quality > quantity. Meaning that some of the better brands (Enermax, Thermaltake, Corsair, etc.) will output "better" power than no name brands, even at lower capacities.
Hope this Helps!!!
