I just purchased a storage drive. I am going to set it as primary master on my IDE channel, my raptor is master on my SATA channel. Will windows just recognize my drive, and assign it a letter? or will it be more complicated?

Later,
Eli
 
you will probably need to do a few things
boot into the OS and Start > Run > (type) diskmgmt.msc > RClick on the new drive "unallocated space" > Partition & Format

if the drive doesnt show up, Action Button > Rescan Didk > then RClick the unallocated space

then it will be assigned a drive letter(s) visable in Windows Explorer nd My Computer


your boot times might also increase as the BIOS might look to that drive first for a boot sector, if so, in the BIOS boot order look for an option to point it to the SATA as the first boot device (might be SCSI) and disable boot to other devices, this is treared a little differently in various BIOS so some experimentation might be required
