Hi,
I have an ASRock 775i65GV motherboard. I have just got a 250Gb SATA drive
on which I want to do a clean install of Windows XP home SP2. Is there any
way I can ensure that the SATA drive will the first drive I.E drive0?
Thanks

I don't think you can. As far as I know the bios reads PATA drives first
then SATA. However, that shouldn't create a problem as you can, at least for
most purposes, adjust through software (boot.ini, grub etc).
If you do as another has suggested, that is disconnect the PATA drives, then
the SATA will be initially seen as HD0 but I think I am right when I say
when you reconnect the PATA drives and reboot the drives will be renumbered
with the PATA drives being placed first.
