You would be much better with a IDE -> Compact flash adapter. This will eliminate any compatibility problems that a SSD might give you.

AISI, an IDE SSD should ideally have no compatibility problems.

OTOH, most CF cards will identify themselves as removable rather than fixed devices, in which case Windows will only see the first partition.
