It should not be a problem. Your MoBo has:

1 x IDE drive connection (that will support 2 devices on one cable, i.e. master & slave)

4 x SATA connections (for your hard drives)

Your BIOS should have no trouble in detecting the hard drives, but you may need a driver installation from a floppy/cd/dvd. I would doubt this though, as I would expect that a MoBo that is obviously ONLY intended to use SATA drives would recognise them.

You need to check the MoBo manual.



EDIT: As this is a new board, it should work out of the box, so to speak, and recognise the SATA as the C:\ and try to boot from it.
Thanks Nihil. I am pretty sure you are right. Hopefully it works right out of the box. I think you only need a driver if you have a serial adapter card in one of your PCI slots. Yeah since it has 4 serial connectors I think it's pretty obvious that their shouldn't be any conflicts. I'm hoping for the best.


P.S. Nihil I have been trying to give you +antipoints the last few times and I can't. It says: "You must spread your AntiPoints around before giving it to nihil again."
I do spread them around, it just doesn't let me. Oh well, thanks.
