IT - Hardware help please - 2nd drive IDE to SATA on SATA Mboard
Hi guys. Some of you may remember my computer installed XP service pack 3 on my P4 1.5 Ghz machine a while back.
We'll I managed to remove the SP3, but then nothing seemed to work write with my computer. Ultimately, it failed to boot up. So I took it to a place I normally buy PC stuff from and instead of paying to get it repaired I bought a refurbished P4 3.0 Ghz XP machine for what it would have cost to repair my old one.
Anyhow, the new motherboard is all SATA drive connections. My old drive is an IDE drive and I want to use set it up as a slave and pull data from it.
I have an IDE to SATA adapter for the hard drive. I plugged everything in and the PC wouldn't boot up. It would let me go into setup, but I'm stuck there.
I put the jumper on the IDE drive to "slave." Should I do that with a SATA motherboard?
How do I configure the drive to ignore the IDE drive on bootup and only refer to it as a data drive?
