Missing SATA HD
Strange goings-ons.
I have two hard drives, both XP PRO, both bootable. One is IDE Primary Master, the other is SATA. I can select either one manually at boot (F8) by selecting the drive I want and it will boot up fine. If I boot to the SATA drive, the IDE drive shows as D drive and I can access all its contents. However, if I boot to the IDE drive, the SATA drive is nowhere to be seen, with D drive left unused (in MY COMPUTER and WINDOWS EXPLORER). Any ideas anyone as to what has gone wrong? Thanks Duke |

Is the SATA drive using the SATA control mode or is it using the IDE "emulation" mode? The latter, I think. Duke |

Missing SATA HD
99% of all pcs with IDE & SATA need to set the BIOS to allow both to run
at the same time (advanced chipset),youre owners manual has the info.Also, while SATA sees IDE,but not the other way,youre SATA hd with its controller running has the capability to see IDE devices (maybe software & newer drivers), while with IDE running as #1,it doesnt have that ability due to MB set-up,or BIOS not set as outlined above..
