SATA HD

I've got a SATA HD connected.

Got a few questions :

How do I make it the master HD? Its read at the 3rd HD. It comes in after the master HD and my dvd drive.

And how come when I use my master HD's OS. The SATA HD is read as an external component? I've got the "Remove hardware" button on the bottom right, same ones I have when I connect my USB stuff.

Right now the wires connected to my SATA HD are, power... ehhh a big one and small one.

PATA is the one where the male and female are pins right?

My master HD is that.

I went into bios, my sata is always 3rd.

i assume u wanna make the SATA drive as the main drive
u can try to disconnect the other PATA drives 1st
then see wat ur com gives you

seriously it`s ALL abt the tweaking of th bios
if it can work can a normal drive
then it must be the bios

if u`re more daring u may try visit the board maker`s
webby to see if ur bios can update or not??

hope it helps

ok i'm back!!!

I've set my SATA as my D:

the problem now is, because I tried installing windows in my D:

now the pc thinks I have 2 OS. Everytime I start, the PC wants me to choose.

I've formatted the HD already, how come it still thinks I have 2 OS????

ermmm.. u plug your SATA drive to which SATA port? I presume your mobo can support more than 2 SATA drives....... that's why u plug into the 3rd port, your bios reads it as a 3rd drive... (pls correct if i'm wrong Embarassed )
