my bad .... for the blank post, But what position do i set my hard drives to considering they are not on the same bus. I have 1 IDE drive and 1 SATA drive. I want the sata to be master. Do i set the Sata to master and the IDE to slave or both to master?

-thanx

SATA drives all operate on their own channels; there's no setting of master/slave required.

You could set the IDE HDD as a master by itself on its channel.

If you are asking how to configure them so that your OS boots off the SATA HDD, you can set that in the bootup order options in your bios.

You can't have a SATA on master and IDE on slave or vice/versa. SATA drives are on one channel, IDE drives are on another.

so SATAS do not share channels or anything funny like that...
So i can set the IDE to master and still have my SATA run as Drive C?
