Adding SATA Drive
I am trying to add a DVD burner to my new Vista machine ...... Of course I
am trying to install an IDE device with an IDE/SATA adapter. On bootup I F2 to go into the BIOS and open SATA2 port, SATA0 hard drive, SATA1 DVD drive. I open port, install SATA cable to port2, put power cable to drive and power cable to IDE/SATA adapter. Reboot ........ light flashes on front for drives .... computer only recognized DVD? ... Tried add hardware in control panel, does not recognize drive. Do I need to set the control jumper to slave? cable select? primary? Thanks for any suggestions. Steve

Adding SATA Drive
Hopefully you can select the boot order somewhere in your BIOS or your
IDE/SETA controller card. I would put the IDE drive on the IDE 1 (not 0) part of the card to hopefully let the card know that it is secondary. If that dosen't work then make it a slave would be my guess. Cecil "S.C" wrote: I am trying to add a DVD burner to my new Vista machine ......

in bios properly then you go into the control panel amin tools storage then mount the drive hope this helps "S.C" wrote: I am trying to add a DVD burner to my new Vista machine ......
