[elvisuk]

H!, ;D

I have got a SATA Hardrive and a SATA DVD to day put them in my computer and powered up and went into the bios and it side SATA 1 Was my Hardrive and SATA 4 was my DVD and it auto detected them is it ok to have them this way or should i put them in order 1 my H/D 2 my DVD and so on ?

Also when i was looking at them i notest my DVD has no Jumpers ? and my H/D has jumper connections but no jumper on ?

I have got XP set-up and it seems to be working but i am not up on SATA stuff so i am not to sure if i have done it ok, but then againe it's working so?

What do you think?

I think all pretend Man Utd fans who've never even seen Old Trafford, never mind pay to get in, should be beaten about the head with a wet and smelly fish - several times.

Oh you mean about the SATA stuff :-p

Yeah that's fine, it shouldn't matter which numbered port you use and the jumpers don't need to be touched usually. The master/slave configuration of IDE drives doesn't exist in SATA, just plug in and go

As you use Linux Elvis, you might want to put SATA 4 as your primary drive in Boot Priority in BIOS. Otherwise it wont want to read a disk on bootup. Its probably made SATA 1 the primary drive.
