boot - Transferring IDE hard disk to SATA-only motherboard

I have an IDE hard disk and want to move it to a new computer. However, that computer only supports SATA and I doubt it will boot from a PCI IDE card. Using a connect that converts the IDE to SATA, the bios (ClickBiosII) doesn't detect it. If I connect a different one, to convert it to USB instead, it does get detected but Windows XP bluescreens halfway through boot. What options do I have for booting this disk on a new computer?


Motherboard: FM2-A85XA-G65
APU: AMD A8-660K (3.9Ghz)
HD: WDC WD1200JB-00GVA0


Previous Motherboard: Dell(Optiplex gx270)(not the first motherboard the disk has been in though) Previous CPU: Intel Pentium 4 (Prescott 2.8Ghz)
