Ok, Have a system with SATA hard drive and I am trying to install an IDE drive on the system. Only have one IDE port and currently have 2 CD/DVD drives using that. So I bought a SATA 2 IDE Adaptor (Siig's version). My motherboard (P5GPL) has 4 SATA slots, with 2 labeled Master and 2 Slave. I'm unsure which slot I should be plugging the drive into. I would think the slave next to the master that has my SATA drive on it? Anytime I try that my system can't find the SATA drive to boot. Any other place, the system boots, but windows XP doesn't see the drive, nor the bios.
Don't know what else to put here? Any help would be appreciated. I feel like I'm going through trial and error and someone must know enough to point me in the right direction.
thanks,
