| 412586 | 2005-12-14 05:55:00 | I recently replaced the hard drive on my computer to an SATA one. I replaced the 8GB IDE HD (a placeholder) with the SATA Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 200GB. Upon boot, after an unusual ~1 second delay, my CDRW/DVD drive was detected, and then the system hanged after saying "Detecting IDE Drives" for a second time. This readout might make it clearer... IDE Channel 0 Master : None IDE Channel 0 Slave : ATAPI COMBO52XMAX VER 1.00 IDE Channel 1 Master : None IDE Channel 1 Slave : None Detecting IDE Drives ... -Hangs here- The computer booted fine with the ID HD, an I'm pretty sure I've installed the SATA HD correctly. |

| 412589 | 2005-12-14 06:08:00 | I know you can't connect an SATA HD to an IDE port, my Mobo does have SATA connectors, and I have plugged the HD in correctly, its not like the keyed connectors allow you to do otherwise. And I forgot to mention, my Mobo is an MSI K7N2 Delta2-LSR. |

| 412590 | 2005-12-14 06:20:00 | It doesnt look like its detecting anything else but the cd. Did you connect the power cable from the sata to a spare molex connection from the PSU? It needs the data and the power cable for the sata to get recognised. Looks like the SATA should be on IDE 1 master. IDE Master 0 would have been the normal IDE hdd. |
