Installing SATA HDD on Newly Built Computer.

by jbob1989 . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

I have recently built a whole new computer and previously having IDE i have never needed to know how to install a SATA HD. I haven?t yet installed an operating system because for some reason it doesn?t run the disk.

In my bios options under sata configuration it gives me the options of setting the sata drive to RAID, IDE or AHCI. Which of these do i need to select?

i have been told i need the drivers off my motherboard manufacturers website but i have tried this via a CD but it doesn?t read the disk. Do i really need a floppy drive to install the drivers?

Motherboard: Asus Maximus Formula(special edition).

I could give you a run down of my whole system specs if needed.

Any help on this matter would be good.
