| 257412 | 2004-08-02 02:59:00 | Having recently upgraded my PC, I went with a seagate sata hdd. I wanted to transfer all my data from my old drive, so connected it to an IDE slot on my new DFI Lanparty NF2 ultra motherbd. The problem is, I can't explicitly set my BIOS to boot off the SATA drive (it does it by default when it's the sole hdd), so when both drives were installed the pc booted from the IDE drive. I tried (all in vain): ata drive as master, ata drive as slave, bios boot device = hdd0, bios boot device = hdd1, strong verbal language. Any suggestions? The new sata drive runs XP pro, the old ata runs ME. I also can't understand why there is no entry in the bios for a sata drive (the only drives that will show up are the ide primary and secondary master and slave), so any help on this would also be appreciated... cheers, S |
