P4P800 Deluxe w/ SATA drive and IDE second drive
I wanted to use my old hard drive as a second drive in this new machine.
The new main drive is a SATA serial drive, the old drive is an IDE. Here is the problem. When I plug in the old drive the new drive no longer appears in the bootable device list in the BIOS. The drive IS detected and is listed at the opening BIOS screen but it stops being a bootable drive. Does anyone know anything about this?? Thanks, David40 |

Thanks, David40 First go into the "Hard disk drives" menu and select your SATA to be the first. Then, go into the "Boot Device Priority" menu and your SATA should show up there. Make it to show up before the IDE drive and save and exit. |
