| 405260 | 2005-11-18 02:14:00 | My motherboard doesn't have onboard SATA, so I put in a SATA card & a 250 gig hard drive. The extra hard drive has been great with my existing windows instillation, but I decided to install Linux & I can't figure out how to make the bios boot off the SATA drive. The instructions for the card say to set your mobo to boot off SCSI, but that didn't work for me. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-7VA if that helps. I haven't updated the bios because I've had problems with flashing stuff in the past. |

Were you unable to find the place to set it in BIOS? Did you set it ahead of your existing IDE drive in the boot order? Are you able to see your new SATA drive if you boot up normally? -Qyiet |

| 405262 | 2005-11-18 07:16:00 | My bad. I was sure I set the boot order to CDROM, SCSI, HD-0 but I put my IDE hard drive in front of SCSI. It works fine. Mandriva 2006 looks very nice from the little I have seen of it so far. |
