Hard Drive Help
Hey guys!
I'm currently building my second AMD comp. I have everything hooked up properly (so i hope) The thing is is that my motherboard won't recognize the HD It has an auto find feature for the IDE HD's but my HD is SATA and I can't figure out how to engage it. When I try to Install Windows it tells me to connect a HD but it is connected in the SATA ports Help? |

Which version of Windows are you trying to install?
Did you read the motherboard manual to see if that motherboard needs the SATA drivers on a floppy disk so they can be installed prior to the OS installation? Cricket

as far as i know boot order would be
floppy Cd rom hd but i think its up to you and you can always change it if you need to boot from a disc if you want to keep the way you had it |
