| 649601 | 2008-03-15 04:43:00 | Hi a friend just asked me if there will be any conflicts when resurrecting his older computer, is planning on putting in new mother board with one IDE slot and wants to use old IDE hardrive and a new Sata one. I know Sata ones don't need jumpering for S & M but would the IDE one need to be set as slave for this setup to work? |

| 649602 | 2008-03-15 04:51:00 | No, IDE and SATA ports are completely separately configured. You can install 2 drives on the IDE port (one Master, one Slave as usual) - Although in his case, you'd want the single drive in Master for best performance. And 1 drive on each SATA port as usual Although, if he's expecting to boot an old windows installation on a new motherboard, be prepared for problems... You may need to run a repair reinstall of windows or reinstall windows completely as the drivers will likely all be completely wrong |

| 649604 | 2008-03-15 06:31:00 | The IDE drives will be first in boot order by default, if your planning on installing the OS on the SATA while also running the IDE's then change the boot order in bios. | Bantu (52) | ||
