HI everyone
Well,I got to find the beauty of relationship between sata & ata.
my mobo ( soyo dragon +) has 2 sata and 2 IDE
on sata (1) I have a maxtor 120GB sata, on IDE (1) I have a maxtor 160GB ultra ata, on IDE(2) I have a dvd rw and a cd room.
right now If I want both HD to function together, I only have the option , boot ata with sata slave.To be able to boot on the sata I have to disconnect
my ata.
Which would be the solution for boot sata & ata slave?
my bios looks OK.
on board sata 1 & 2 enable
first boot device LS 120 ( my sata 120GB I guess )
see u

Boot LS120 is not your sata. It is 120Mb floppy drive. your first boot device should be either Floppy or CDrom. then which ever of those 2 you didnt put as 1st boot device, then hdd0.

You shouldn't have the two CD's on the same IDE, you will get bad performance out of them if you do.

In your BIOS, do you have a boot for SCSI?

If so, that is what you should be using for the SATA. If not use CD.

He JAYDUSTY! Ye I correct that mistake on the LS120.
Here is what I did.
first boot: CD
second : SCSI
third : HD 0
the result is great. I have my OS ( xp pro ) loaded on both drives ( sata and ata ). When I boot it goes on sata with my ata on slave. If I want to change the order I go to BIOS , invert second and third boot, then I boot on ata with sata slave! This is just in case I want to load different OS in sata & ata and switch the boot from time to time.cool cool man...
thanks

You could get something like System Commander, and do it all from the SATA. Much quicker and easier
