I have a 40g pata hard drive. Can I set this up as a secondary storage drive in in a Dell 531 which has a sata primary drive ?

    As you already know, i-531 does not support IDE/ATA drives, you need to buy an external USB 2.0 IDE powered enclosure, similar to this, mount the IDE hard drive in the enclosure, connect it to a USB 2.0 port.
