Hi, I recently bought a Samsung HD753LJ internal hard drive. It is a SATA-300 drive and my PC, a Dimension 5150, can only support SATA-150 drives. However, I was told that it would be a simple matter to make it backwards compatible. Although the site is in terrible English, as far as I can see the program needed to do so is here:

However, I cant understand how to make it work. I do not have an internal FDD, so I have tried to make a CD. What I do not understand is that when I download it, it is a .iso file. With this file, do I burn the actual .iso or the contents of the .iso onto the disk? Also, I have access to three PCs that can write disks. One of them has recently stopped detecting ANY writable disks, one will only detect DVD-Rs which I do not have any blanks of, and one can detect the CDs but will not burn them. Is there any way of running the program without making a disk/floppy? Also, how do I boot my computer with a CD? And finally, will a USB FDD work?
Step by step instructions would be VERY much appreciated! Thanks,
Alex.
