Problems getting my SATA hard drive to work
---------------------------------------------------------
Right now I have a 120 and 80 gig ATA drives. The 80 needs to be sent back for a replacement cause it sounds like it is about to die as it vibrates a lot, hums loud, then quiet, LOUD, then quiet, LOUD, then quiet. Motor? Anyways... I'm borrowing this 120 gig maxtor SATA to backup my data until it gets replaced. I guess the important peice of info would be that I have an A-Bit IS7 motherboard. So how do I get it to work with my system? Unlike pata HDDs, this one wouldm't work when I simply plugged it in and booted up.
Who out there has experience with an IS7 and SATA?
You need to go into your BIOS and enable the SATA controller.
