| 1109958 | 2010-06-14 04:02:00 | The only thing you need to worry about is that some brand-name PCs like to take the front of the drive off and use a specially designed case front panel instead. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1109959 | 2010-06-14 05:35:00 | The Dell 9200 system shipped with a single hard drive running under RAID as a non-RAID hard drive. I want to install another drive and reload XP and change the BIOS from 'RAID ON' to 'RAID AUTODETECT/SATA', and run both disks as non-RAID. Nah all you need to do is update the motherboard BIOS. You do that and you don't need a driver. Like I said, ancient ones needed drivers. It has an old BIOS. |

From what I read on the Dell forums you can either have the SATA or RAID options on your disk controller thing on the motherboard, but not both. Thanks though |
