View Single Post - SATA HD as boot up?

Enigmachine · Rated NC-17

Hmm, you can't boot off of SATA, so how did you install Windows on your SATA drive then? Did you ghost the image or something? Because I've never actually had to change any settings in the BIOS to get any of my mobos to recognize and boot off SATA HD's.

I usually ghost (technically I don't use norton ghost anymore, since it is crap and needs patches to handle SATA correctly) a working image from an IDE drive to a SATA drive and then unplug the IDE drive (since it's still a boot partition and I don't want to boot off of that) and bingo, all done.

I know, it's a pretty basic question but we have to start somewhere to figure out the problem Smile
