SATA question

[charliebrown78]

I got a 60G SATA drive. I want to use it as my main C drive. I have 3 IDE drives and I want to use them as storage drives. How do you do it?? It seems like my mother board doesn't know which one should be primary drive. How do you set it??

Set the BIOS to boot from the sata drive. That's all that matters, as far as the computer's concerned it's now the primary drive. Make sure to install Windows to it; use an sata driver floppy or slipstream as necessary.

Do you really call the english teacher daddy-o?

I just installed Windows on my IDE drive. I connected SATA drive on SATA1 pin but I still can't see it on Windows. How does the jumper setting works for SATA?? Where am I supposed to plug it in?? There is no picture that shows how to make master or slave on the SATA drive.

NVM, I just needed to install VIA SATA driver. Now the windows reads my SATA. Yeah!!!!
