I know there is technically no master/slave setup with SATA drives, but I need to add a new drive as primary so as to access the old one. Please advise.

just put them into the master or slave position on the cable.

Usually the pin placement will be on the hard drive as primary, slave, etc. And usually the slave has no jumper pin at all, and the primary is second to the left. But read it and do it right the way it says, and your motherboard and Bios should pick it up. If not, then go into bios and set your slave default to auto.

I extremely have a 30Gb Ide which i exploit as my grasp and a 160Gb SATA which I shop all my own stuff on, alongside with all my downloads. This works ok 'cos 30Gb is adequate for extremely some courses alongside with Macromedia Studio, Nero 7, workplace professional 2003, that are all super. in certainty i'm considering yet another new SATA' cos this one's getting finished. the main important income is that if domicile windows crashes, I lose not something.

I am not too sure with SATA drives as they do not have an IDE cable. I think if you go into BIOS you can allocate it as the primary or secondary.????

Enter BIOS and find the boot sequence. Make the one with your OS first, then make CD/DVD driver second/third, then floppy (if you have one), and then your data HDD. This is the safest way :) (I think)
