When installing a SATA hard drive the IDE drives must be disabled in the
BIOS for the computer to boot from the SATA drive and I believe the
drivers must be installed for this kind of disk. This is something I
read about awhile ago but cannot remember the full text. Maybe someone
else can give a fuller explanation.

I have installed an 80 gig sata hard drive on my new computer which is
sata ready. The hard drive is not seen thus windows 2000 can not be
installed. When I go to the bios, it does not show any primary disk.
When I install a test drive in an ide slot, it shows up on my system.
Any suggestions what can be wrong? I have check all of the jumpers and
bios settings but this is my first experience with this type of drive.
