Ide Hdd +sata Hdd

[dudevenezuela]

I can't get my new 120Gb SATA HDD to work,

I have a 40Gb IDE HDD and I want to install it a 120gb Sata Extra...

At the first log on screen says to press TAB


then this message appear
"NOTICE: the number of disks is not adequate to create a raid !"

sounds like a bios setting issue

you need 2 SATA drives to make a raid configuration either in raid 0 or raid 1.

Whattt! ? Is not posibble to have 2 HDD at the same time ? One IDE and one SATA

yeah it is, just disable raid in the bios.

Ok I did it.. now it doensn't says to press TAB but when i got in windows xp the SATA HDD is not listed..
I'm going to check the SATA cables seems a little loose
PDBios settings)

Onchip SATA: Enable or Disable--- ENABLE
Sata Mode: IDE or Raid ------ IDE

Now windows can detect it but i don't know how to explore the new HDD

Nevermind I had to do a partition then format the HDD ...
I did it with partition magic

Just out of curiosity...what language is that windows in?
