Hi-- Thanks everyone for helping me!!!
I had installed one Sata before but I forgot about there was no jumpers to
change (no sleep) and I wasn't sure about installing the second one. I
plugged in the Sata II 300 gigs checked the bios and it recognize it but I
had to enable it -all Satas are set as masters. I didn't see the hard drive
in my computer setup in Windows XP Pro Sp2- I used Acronis made 3
partitions and it asked me to reboot and formatted them all in the same
time It rebooted 3 times and formatted each partition -very fast. I chose
primary because I need to install beta OS's I checked my computer again
and I could see all the hard drives and partitions I started using Acronis
last year. I really like it .Easy to use I have an Acronis OS selector I
use to boot in to which windows I want to use. I am beta testing MS Vista
/86 and 64bit and Longhorn /86 and 64 bit so I need to put those on a
separate hard drive and partitions. With Asus A8N sli deluxe motherboard
I installed AMD Athlon 64bit 4000+ s 939 processor and Ocz dual channel kit
2gb -memory I went to my supplier and he was trying to get me to buy same
company same kind but a little faster memory you need to put the same kind
and speed in or you will have a problem. I have dual video cards(NVIDIA G
Force 6600 GT I had to take one out and change the video selector card to
single on my mother board because the betas would only recognize the one
video card for now I put the second video card back in change the
configuration in the bios. BTW- The people on this list are just great--
thank you again -Jackie
