[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 237455, member: 14004"] Thats weird. Your motherboard manual should have mentioned something about priority SATA ports on your motherboard, or at least numbered the ports so that you could make an educated guess as to what ports to use first. While SATA doesnt have a master/slave configuration, many mobo manufacturers implement different chipsets for different SATA ports (for example; 2 ports are run from the southbridge, and the other 2 are from from an additional chipset. My old A7N8X deluxe board was like that), or build right into the SATA BIOS a form of legacy controls that display your SATA drives as PATA drives to the OS, so no additional drives are needed when installing the OS for the first time. What kind of motherboard are you using so I can make a mental note to stay away from it? :D [/QUOTE]
