Guest skinsnpunx@hotmail.co.uk Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I have just purchased a sata hard drive and want to make it a slave in my pc, which is running on windows xp home. Where must the jumpers be placed to do this. A pic would be handy. Thanks

At any rate...you configure your SATA settings in the bios, so as long as the bios is configured to boot from the drive you have XP installed on...there is nothing else you have to do other than simply connect your new drive and enable your SATA channel

You probably have 2 SATA ports on the motherboard. One being SATA0 and the other SATA1. There should be a bios setting to enable SATA, and one sequential setting to set as master or slave for SATA. You won't see it take effect until you save the bios setting and reboot. XP may or may not have a default driver for your SATA controller. Enable the SATA controller first in the bios, then check device manager/hardware to see it XP implemented the SATA controller. If so, continue by connecting the SATA hard drive. If no SATA controller is available in XP, you need a driver for it. Go the the XP hardware group for help regarding any further help. -- Dave How about a tax to support any military conflict/police action over 3 months old?
