Boot from SATA 81NXP
I purchased a SATA drive and have cloned it over (using Ghost) and now want
to boot from this drive * much faster than my old 10gb ATA one *. I still want to have the other drive connected and accessible. How do I change this? I see the setting in the bios for BOOT ORDER, but when set to SATA it still just skips right over the drive.. . |

I've heard that current versions of Ghost are not compatible with SATA
drives and renders them as inactive (non-bootable) partitions. One person has reported (not sure which newsgroup) that he was able to revive his using Partition Magic v8, and that at that point all was well. Does your SATA drive have disk cloning software in the package like most modern PATA drives do? You might check, and make sure it will work going from PATA to SATA.

Right where it originally was.. on the primary master (hdd-0 as per the bios
when I had it set to boot). It adjusting the boot order to SATA all that is rquired, or do I have to change the first boot device still?? If I had merely 2 SATA devices, how would it know which one to boot from? "Axl" wrote in message ... Where do you have your old one connected? "La Pedrera" skrev i meddelandet le.rogers.com...

I might be wrong, but i have the boot order as: floppy/CD-ROM/SCSI. There is no option for a boot device to boot from "SATA". |
