Hi,
I'm new to the DIY scene and I had a couple of questions about mixing SATA and PATA hard drives.
My Setup...
ASUS P4P800 Deluxe
Primary SATA HD: WD 36GB Raptor
Secondary SATA HD: Seagate 120GB
Basically, I have a spare PATA Seagate 80GB that I would like to hook up and I had a few questions concerning this. Windows resides on the Primary SATA drive and is the first of my hard drives to boot up.
1. Do I hook up the PATA Seagate to the Primary IDE slot? I'm pretty sure I do but I would like confirmation?
2. How should I configure the PATA Seagate's jumper settings? Master? Slave?
3. Are there any particular BIOS settings that I need to change for it to work properly?
Thanks in advance!
