View Single Post - SATA HD as boot up?

Macenko · Rated PG

Hello, I am new to this forum. I recently built a new comp from scratch. I have an A8N32-SLI Deluxe MB. I tried booting up with a WD Raptor SATA hd but for some reason it would not let me. Had to use an EID HD just to recognize Master drive. and install windows. SATA drive does not show as as a drive in windows but when i go to my Bios section it does show as some sort of 3rd drive or something to that affect. I still have alot to learn about SATA so if anyone have any input on how I can make my SATA drive Primary boot drive without having to reinstall Win XP. Please respond. I would really be grateful. Thank you.
