Posted February 22, 200519 yr Hello, I am having some trouble setting up my various hard drives. My Bios says IDE Channel 0 Master CD-ROM 56X IDE Channel 0 Slave Maxtor 5T040H4 IDE Channel 1 Master None IDE Channel 1 Slave 24x10 I have one SATA HD connected to the SATA 1 port on my motherboard, and then my old HD is slave (middle ribbon clip) and the CD-ROM is master (end ribbon clip) and that is connected to IDE 1 on my motherboard the CD R/W is connected as master to the IDE 2 on the motherboard, and the floppy is connected to the FDD on the motherboard. Could it be that I have a bad SATA HD? because that is not showing up anywhere on this BIOS list. Regards, JIM
February 23, 200519 yr The IDE listing won't give you your SATA drives. I've never used a mobo with a SATA controller onboard, but my hunch is that the drive listing from the SATA controller will come up at some point soon after the PATA listing. You should in any case get something saying nothing is connected. -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?
