I have installed a SATA SH-S223C on a computer with Windows XP. But now when I try to boot the computer, it freezes on the Windows boot screen until I open the CD tray. Then it will continue on to the Welcome screen ok. Any suggestions?

Do you have any CD in the tray, first would be to remove the disc if present as boot from CD would be first option in BIOS.
Get into the BIOS by pressing the appropriate key some systems it is the DEL key or F2. In bios select Advanced Bios Features.


Select Advanced Bios Features
Hard Disk boot priority,


Select "Bootable add in cards" with keyboard and keep pressing + until it is in the first location.

I have installed a SATA - vinayak_nair_14.jpgimages/vinayak_nair_14.jpg" alt="vinayak_nair_14.jpg" class="h_mi" />

Set first boot device as Hard Disk and then save and exit BIOS.
F10 is shortcut to do this.

If you need to boot from CD next time just change first boot device to CDROM.
