Re: Adding 2nd SATA HDD

I have connected the 2nd drive but it is not showing up in BIOS or management
tree.

I have looked in the manual but can't figure it out.

There is one bit where it says 'The current SATA 11 interface allows up tp
3.0 Gb/s data transfer rate'. I have both drives (Samsung 250GB) set as SATA
11 3.0Gb/s. Do i need to fit jumpers to both to set them to SATA 1.5gb/s?

The motherboard is an ASROCK 939NF4G-SATA2.

As DL said, you will need to read the manual. If for some reason you don't
have the manual, you should be able to find it on the motherboard
manufacturer's or PC manufacturer's web site.
I think though that you will probably just have to attach the new drive,
partition and format it. You can probably do the partition and format
operations from the Computer Management console, which you will find in
Control Panel|Administrative Tools.

Does it make any difference that it is non-raid. My MB supports RAID but,
as
i was unsure how this works i left it as non raid.

Would it be better to set up as a RAID drive or leave it as is?

Many thanks for your help.

different set up requirements.
Its little to do with win

I just want to know if there is anything i should know about adding a
2nd
SATA HDD.

Will i be able to use it as a file storage area through my current XP
setup
or do i need to install a copy of XP onto this drive and use it as a
2nd
operating system.

Will it cause any problems with my computer because if it does the wife
will
kill me.

Many Thanks.

Paul
