When I built my computer a few months ago I just used an old 400gb IDE drive with a £3 IDE to SATA adapter from ebay. Yesterday my computer rebooted itself then didn't recognise the drive. The drive spins and the adapter lights up. I tried a different IDE drive with no luck. I tried my IDE drives in an old computer with IDE on the motherboard and the bios recognised them.

Now I am in a pickle.

I ripped our a 250gb 2.5inch sata drive from a USB drive so I could get back on to battlefield. After installing windows, drivers etc and battlefield I have barely broken 50gb.

So now, should I:

A) get one of these http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-375-WD and reinstall everything as it was on my old IDE drive.

B) get a 1TB seagate USB drive for £60 from a high street catalog shop and rip the HDD out of it.

C) get an SSD drive, copy everything from my 250gb drive to the SSD, then use the 250gb drive to install everything that doesn't fit on the SSD.
 
As opposed to option B you could get a 2TB external Seagate from every little helps for £79 I saw in there yesterday.
