Installing OS on SATA HD--Do I need floppy
- Thread starter bluecula
- Start date
In my experience, no.
You may, however, have to go into the BIOS and enable SATA, assuming you are using an onboard SATA controller. For example, my mobo, an Asus A8N-SLI Premium has both Nvidia SATA and Silicon Image SATA. I've enabled the Nvidia SATA controller but left the Silicon SATA controller disabled since I don't use it. Without enabling the SATA controller, my hard drive wouldn't show up.
I have pretty limited experience with this, however; it may vary from mobo to mobo.
