using an internal SATA drive as eSATA?

I have a P35/ICH9R motherboard too and I can tell you that it worked for me. I do have a separate eSATA connection on my motherboard which I use for my eSATA enclosure. At the same time, I have something like: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817989001 that I use to hotswap...

Looking for harddisk backplanes

SSD, worth it?

I bought a 60GB vertex last week, being paranoid because of the new technology, I read quite a bit on what to do on the OCZ Technology forums. Flashed the drive (new 1275 firmware came out two days before I received my drive), realigned it and popped it in. I had to reinstall windows xp twice...

Where do you physically keep your harddisks?

Jeez. I like my table tidy. I actually now have my harddisks stowed away on a shelf just sitting there. I did wrap each harddisk with those anti-static bags that come with new harddisks / cards though. I was thinking of getting a dry-cabinet to store them, to be honest, but it seems from...

In a box stowed away under the bed? Or a dry cabinet? Or just leave them on a shelf?

Quick question regarding Windows Home Server

I was trying to figure out from the website whether you need XP or Vista already installed on a computer then you install WHS on top? Or can I just install it on a blank harddisk and it'll be fine to run? (Yes, I did try finding out from their FAQ but the following text boggled me):

Cannot find boot disk

The problem is that when I go to the BIOS, I can't tell which drive is which because they're all labeled the same, (Since it's the same model harddisk). And yes, I have repartitioned and reformmated the "faulty" drive already, still doesn't solve the problem.

Cannot find boot disk

Unplugging all but the boot drive works, I can boot. Plugging in the other 3 and it boots up fine too. Plugging in that 5th additional and it can't find the boot disk. I've had the same system with 5 disks before too, but I've only encountered this problem recently. In case anyone's...

Cannot find boot disk

The part I don't get is, there is only one harddisk which has an operating system on it. Thus, there shouldn't be a "tell which drive you want to boot first", since there's only one. The only other setting that might be relevant is the boot order between HD, CD-ROM and floppy. But with...

Cannot find boot disk

Yes, I can see all the drives in the BIOS. They're all the same model, and they all appear under the same model type in the BIOS, which is one reason why I'm having a hardtime differentiating which is which. They're all 1TB Samsung harddrives.

Cannot find boot disk

I have a system with 4 harddisks (all SATA) in them. When I plug in a 5th harddisk and boot the system up. It returns the error asking me to insert a bootable disk. The 5th harddisk has no executables and only data. It was reformatted too, so no .sys either. But when I take out the 5th...

External USB Storage Enclosures

Hey guys, I was thinking of buying one of those USB Storage Enclosure things, http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817816007 As an example. The part I am confused about is why would there be a max harddisk size? Wouldn't all harddisks on the SATA Interface (up to 1.5TB currently)...
