Re: HOW to install a sata2 hd?

Plug the drive in the sata slot on the board. Boot up go into bios
and disable raid. Set bios to treat sata drives as ide, "ide enabled".
Make sure that the drive is not in the sata 1 slot, with some boards
that is for the boot drive, I dont know if it really matters, but better
safe than sorry. Once booted up and bios sees drive you will have to
go into device manager, format the drive for use...
