need help

Oh, I have spent so much time on this and now maybe the answer. How do you disable native support for sata? The bios on my Compaq Presario v3732 does not offer any options. Many thanks.

Pentium D and core duo

Thank you for your replies, it seems I made a big mistake in upgrading my p4 3.2 to a 3.0 pentium D. I was taken in by the hype about dual core.

Data Recovery. Software

In the end "getdataback" did the job very well for me and I found it very easy to use. Ordered online from UK 119 dollars, about 65 pounds, seems fair enough price for such a save and did not have to pay any taxes. This is the price for the package that handles fat and ntfs.
