I'm ready to fire up this DIY PC that I built 3 years ago and I"m thinking
to not use anything fancy except a video card. This will be a new hard
drive,
and a new operating system, either Windows XP Pro or Home edition. This
mobo
is an Elitegroup ECS GF6100-M754. The hard drive is a SAMSUNG Spinpoint
SP1614C SATA drive, with either 80 or 160 GBs. I took it out to look at
it,
to make sure you have the right info.
I need to go into BIOS and configure that it's going to be a SATA drive
instead of IDE drive? What do you think is the BIOS key, DEL, F1, F2 or a
wtf? I don't want to do anything fancy here, it's my first SATA
installation.
Just get it working and no updates either I think?
Please don't tell me to read the mobo manual, the part on BIOS had half
the
page torn. Figures, there are 2 half torn pages in the whole manual and 1
of
them is on the BIOS section. My luck!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank, attilathehun1

Some of the early mobos with SATA, there were 2 alternatives, one for boot
and one as an added hard drive for data. If electing a SATA hard drive as a
boot hard drive, it must be mapped as ide via bios settings (plural) with no
ide device on the first ide port as an example. No SATA driver is needed
for an XP install as its seen as an ide hard drive.

Speculation on a product or material that is
an obvious need, is not speculation per se
as there is no risk to the speculator.
Common were those selling food and other
supplies in the gold rush days.
In this case, its oil and its everyone who
bites the bullet. And most everyone has no gold
to be made, just business as usual.
