I have selected the SATA drive as the first boot device, but it still boots to the IDE drive. If I disconnect the IDE drive, the computer hangs up and won' boot at all. The SATA drive is recognized on the IDE 2 Master position, the IDE drive shows on the IDE 0 Master, and my DVD writer shows up at IDE 1 Master. How do I get it to boot to the SATA drive?

First, check the boot drives to make sure that the computer is not trying to boot from a different drive to the one that contains Windows. Click on Start, Run, and type regedit and press Enter HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} This folder is the DVD/CD-ROM Drive Class Description in the registry. Look for any of the following names in the right hand column. Upper Filters Lower Filters Upper Filters.bak Lower Filters.bak
Check that there are no CDs or DVDs 3 1/2 inch floppy discs
in the CD/DVD,3.1/2 floppydrives.
Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

When you install the drive, go to "Computer" or "my computer" and right-click on the icon.
From the dropdown menu, choose "manage".
Click on Disk Management. You will see your C: drive there and it will tell you what it is.
You will probably also see the new drive, but it will appear as unknown. You can right-click on it to initialize it and format it if it is not formatted.
There you go.

what you should have done was uninstalled the old motherboard drivers first as these drivers will be running the board although incorrectly, if you still have the installation disc run it as if to install, but it should show up with the option to uninstall the drivers.

There is either a problem with your memory or your BIOS settings. Did you recently change any settings in your BIOS? If so try resetting it. You may refer to the motherboard user Guide for help regarding resetting your BIOS/CMOS settings. If you cant find it you may also try to remove the CMOS battery on your motherboard for a few hours and then connect it back this should have reset your BIOS.
If you are sure you havent changed any settings then there may be a problem with your RAM or the slot in which the RAM is connected. Check it by using a spare slot on your comp. If it does nt work then you may have to replace your system RAM.

Hi there
No there is no need to change any jumpers on a sata drive, go into the bios settings and tell the bios to boot from the western digital drive only.
Good luck and thanks for using Fixya!!!!
