well keep the jumper in master for the boot hard. and keep the jumper slave for the next hard.
then go to bios and then go to boot then keep the first boot for the boot hard.k.
dats all.

wen i cnnect my IDE hard wit da SATA hard my SATA hard is not recgnized. i tried da BIOS boot menu but it only shows my IDE hard. my SATA hard is missing. but wen i use only da SATA hard it works. i even tried da jumper thing but no luck!!

go to your advanced configuration and check if the SATA mode is IDE or RAID, if it is raid change it to IDE, then the device should appear on the BIOS.
