Re: SATA ntfs boot error

Have you tried "fixmbr" ?

Or set SATA HDD's in BIOS to emulate in order to be seen as "IDE" by
Windows.
There must be some setting in BIOS not to requirement of installing of
SATA drivers.

Also if possible, backup important data as connection HDD into another
machine as additional disk if you can,
then re-format it with correct File system, probably NTFS.

These can be generated more and more...
