Hi, im building a computer, and i bought a SCSI ATA 150 Hard Drive OEM, Its a Maxtor. So ofcouse, there is no IDE cable in the primary plug, just cd roms in the secondary, so basically, i have the HD hooked up to the scsi port and the power hooked up to it..and when i try to install windows, it says it cannot find a HD on my system...how do i get it to reconize this ATA 150 Hard Drive,
help please!!
 
I'm assuming you mean Serial ATA?

Anyways, did a floppy come with the motherboard? yu have to press F6 and load it at Windows setup/
 
oh yeah, my fault...ummm i got a cd rom, but nothing with the HD b/c it was oem
 
just have a cd from asus with drivers and asus probe that sort of stuff...no floppy...plus i cant use the disc because its asking for a floppy
 
Okay, i think im confusing my self and everyone else...ill start over...
Im building a computer, i didnt want an IDE 133 HD because i noticed there is even better ... so i bought a SERIAL ATA 150 Maxtor HD. When i try to set up the OS it says it cannot detect a hard drive...it is looking for an IDE 133 HD. Im NOT try to do raid..all i have is one HD..the ATA 150, how can i make the setup reconize this HD, how can i make this the primary in the Bios, is there some jumper im magically missing?. ...Did i just buy the wrong HD...can this only be used for Raid configs?
Hopefully youll understand a little better now.

You have to turn on the SATA controller in your BIOS then when you see the HD in your BIOS move it up in boot priority.
