IDE and SATA problem

by jambino . Updated 17 years, 2 months ago

Ok! My Motherboard is a ASUS A7N8x-E Delux and im running XP off a 160GB IDE drive!

I want to intsall a secondary 750GB SATA drive. I connected it all fine. However, machine fails to boot into windows! I have an option to pres either ‘CTRL+S or F4 to get into the SATARaid Bios utility! But th machine just freezes!

I assumed maybe the PC was looking at the SATA drive as the system drive:
I went into the Bios to try and disable the ‘RAID or SCSI boot’but there is no option to turn it off! Just a choice of SCSI or RAID!

I’ve change the Boot device to HDD-0, HDD-1, HDD-3 etc! However, the system doesnt want to boot with this drive connected! Any ideas would be much appreciated!?

Thanks
