Having trouble booting from an SATA Drive.
I downloaded something from limewire, and it killed my comp. So, I put my old 200 GB Maxtor IDE drive in my computer and reinstalled the operating system. I installed MaxBlast 4 for Windows so I could transfer the files from my IDE to a SATA again. I chose one of my drives to be the new boot drive, and then the data transfered, and i restarted. After that, I turned off my computer and took out the IDE drive. I turned on the computer, and like when I first had it, it would take awhile to find the Drives because of the SATAs, but now my computer gets stuck trying to load the Data Stream. I can't boot from the damn SATA. So, for the time being I'm using the IDE drive as the boot drive, and the two 300GB DiamondMax drives as additional storage. Any suggestions on how to get my SATA to boot up?

Is SATA controlled by the Southbridge or is it controlled by a third party SATA controller chip? If it's on a third party SATA controller chip, this might be a stupid question, but do you still have it "enabled" in the BIOS?

Are the SATA controller drivers installed? Did you go into the BIOS and disable SATA RAID and enable standard SATA? Also, is the SATA controller first in the boot order, or second behind the CD/DVD rom? And it's better if nothing is connected to the IDE 0 (primary port) while you are trying to establish the SATA boot drive.  DoomLord |
