How to add a SATA hard drive drive to a PC with an IDE master drive?
I have an older asus A8n5x mobo with 4 sata ports. I've never used them. Don't hardly know anything about them. I want to hook up at least one ide hard drive aside from the master as well as the sata drive. I'm not doing raid, just data recovery. Can I mix sata and pata? does one or other need to be set as master? How do I configure the sata?
Ps, The OS is XP sp3, already installed on the current ide master.
Thanks.
You don't have to configure the SATA drive. They always run as "master" by default and won't conflict with other drives as they have their own dedicated channel.
Configure the ide drives just as you always would, with one set as "master" and one as "slave" via the jumpers or cable select.
Remember, SATA and PATA drives (sometimes called ide) are fundamentally the same except for the interface they use to "talk" to the rest of your hardware. They will play nice together.
