IDE SATA Conflict

Siskin · Jun 27, 2005, 06:16 PM

My Asus k8v-x motherboard had a 200 Gb drive connected via Serial ATA. When I connect my old drive via Primary IDE, either as master or slave, it will boot to the IDE drive and the SATA drive is not detected. Can anyone help to solve this problem as I would like to have my old drive as a secondary storage device.

You have to go into the bios and reset your boot order to sata as your first drive.

I cannot change the boot order as the SATA drive is not listed as it has not been detected on booting.

have you got sata enabled in the bios?

Check under the "Advanced" section for the "OnChip SATA Boot Rom". Make sure that it is set to "Enabled". Then under the "Boot" options you will see 3 boot options. Highlight the hard drive listing (this should be the IDE one that is booting), and change it to the SATA drive listing. Save, and exit.

The problem is that boards SATA controller is a seperate chip, and not part of the chipset. As such it will always default boot to any internal drives handled by the chipset first. If you follow the above this should change it to boot to the SATA drive.
