I need some help. I ordered a 120GB EIDE ATA-100 Drive to stick in my firewire enclosure for backups. The drive just got here and it is the wrong drive. 99% of the specs are the same except the drive has a Serial ATA interface. The box it came in is labeled with IDE and all the invoices say IDE. I just checked and the drive I ordered is now "Out of Stock". Does anyone know of a way to get this to work in my firewire enclosure? Or possibly a Firewire/SATA enclosure? I don't feel like going through the hoops to send this damn thing back. Thanks for any help.

They make serial ata to ata converters but i doubt they would fit into a firewire case. I would send it back.
