got all my new hardware, trying to install windows on my ide hard drive as i broke the cable on the sata one so need a sata cable to get it to work.
i want to have xp on my 160gb wd caviar ide 7200, and my games on the sata barracude 7200.10
but when i boot into bios it doesnt detect any ide devices,
ide channel 0 master [none]
ide channel 1 master [none]
ide channel 2 master [none]
ide channel 3 master [none]
ide channel 4 master [none]
ide channel 4 slave [none]
ide channel 5 master [none]
ide channel 5 slave [none]
Drive A [none] (which is correct!)
however when i put my xp disc into me IDE dvdrw it spins up and seems to be detected, but when i press enter nothing happens.
any ideas ? ive took the driver off which the ide hard drive says to do to get it to run as master on its own, as the sata isnt connected.
cheers
