| 378803 | 2005-08-06 04:50:00 | Is it possible to have a sata hardrive slave/secondary to a ide hardrive which is master? Thanks |

| 378804 | 2005-08-06 05:09:00 | Yes. But its not exactly a slave as such. You just set which is the first boot device - ide or sata. | pctek (84) | ||
| 378805 | 2005-08-06 05:16:00 | If i connect it and set up the bios settings as my manual says it loads up windows like usual from my ide drive. It starts installing some thing like ide2 controller and so on. It found my hardrive it said found XXXXXX but it didnt show up in explorer. | CenC (8667) | ||
| 378806 | 2005-08-06 05:43:00 | If youre using XP, it wont show in My computer, if it hasnt been used before / formatted before. Are you using XP or other? |

| 378809 | 2005-08-06 12:36:00 | I think I have the same problem. I have installed a sata drive alongside my 2 ide drives. Motherboard supports it and drivers installed and it even sees it in bios on bootup but explorer cant see it? Any ideas? Many thanks |
