    Ho all. Just experimenting here, have inserted another SATA HD in the Floppy Drive space. Have got a PATA TO SATA convertor and connection is to Primary IDE. Intially I could not boot as Ribbon was upside down, rectified that and com will now fully boot. Activity light on the convertor card and HD feels warm, so that means all connections are A OK. Problem is it is not showing in the BIOS, what am I missing here ??? All other HD's are showing which are SATA. Settings are as follows''''

    Onchip IDE Channel 10
    Onchip IDE Channel 11
    IDE DMA Transfer
    SATA Port 1 & 2
    SATA Port 3 & 4
    SATA DMA Transfer
    SATA 2 DMA Transfer
    IDE Prefetch Mode....

    All these are set to AUTOMATIC. if you are around dlb would appreciate some guidance plz. or anyone else that can advise. :confused
