I just got a W.D. Raptor 10.000 rpm sata drive to install my O/S on, and then found out I didn't have a sata plug on my board so i sent for a SATA card and wire, Is there a way to set up my PC to boot from the Raptor Drive? I have Awards bio's The board does support SATA drives.

Do U think it will add another option when i install it, I will leave XP home on my other drive, in case i can't boot from the Raptor, I have 2 other HD's

It will see it as a SCSI card! Make sure all of your drivers are in order for the card first ;)
So do i set it up to boot from the SCSI or the CDROM?
