Replacing an IDE hard drive in a laptop with SATA. Will it work?

Question

IDE

Greetings!
I have an old Acer laptop of the Travelmate 4150 series with an IDE hard drive inside. Winchester began to die slowly, the question arose of replacing it. Today you can't find an IDE hard drive for a laptop for sale, and if you do, it will be, firstly, expensive, and secondly, old. We need another option. For example, find a way to connect a SATA hard drive.
The specification for the chipset states that it supports SATA. On the laptop motherboard behind the IDE connector there are contact pads for the SATA connector. In the service manual of the laptop on the motherboard diagram, these pads are called SATA CONN, but they are not mentioned anywhere else.
At the same time, hard drives were not used in the 4150 SATA series.
Now a question. If you solder a SATA connector there and connect a hard drive to it, will it work? Or is it most likely that the BIOS does not support SATA?
Thank you.

Answer 1

There may be contact pads, but the sata controller is unlikely, or rather it is not. So no, there will be no happiness.
UPD: There are PATA-SATA adapters, the problem will be to stuff everything into the case.

Answer 2

go to bios or device manager and see if there is sata support

Answer 3

I think it's not even worth trying your luck with wiring. With an adapter to sata is unlikely to fit. I would choose the option with the ide-msata adapter.
