Guys sorry if this is an stupid question but I can't get my sata to work as a bootable system drive and i'm presuming i can't make this happen with only one drive unless i connect it to an pci adapter?
Here's the deal i want my st316002 3as as my bootable system drive i'm currently using an ide st340810A as master an a maxtor 96147U8 as slave can I replace my ide drives with only one Serial ata disk?
If it's possible and someone can guide me through the steps to do it I'd be grateful, also my win xp sp1 install cd doesn't recognise it when prompting in which dirve to install.
The rest of my specs are
AMD 64 3200+
MSI K8T-NEO_FISR
1 Stick of 512 Kingston Valueram DDR 400 KVR400X64C3A/512
Sapphire Ati Radeon 9600 XT 128mb
Compaq Dvd-Rom DRD8120B
Lite-On DVDRW LDW-851S
