Installing SATA drive
I just installed a new sata drive into my pc. Im unsure of a couple things and wanted to check. After I installed the drive, I went into the bios and changed it from legacy mode to Native mode. There was also an option that said "S-ata always on" which was set to disabled and i changed it to enabled. Is that right? When I booted up it recognized the drive and said it installed it and then had me reboot. When I rebooted it was not showing the drive in my computer. So I went into the control panel, admin tools, storage, disk management and initialized the drive and then formatted it to create a partition. Is this correct?

The BIOS setting sounds correct to me. Native mode when using Win2K/XP, legacy mode with Win9x. Since you are using XP, native is correct.
