Adding SATA Drive

Posted: 04-30-2007, 04:25 AM
I am trying to add a DVD burner to my new Vista machine ...... Of course I
am trying to install an IDE device with an IDE/SATA adapter.

On bootup I F2 to go into the BIOS and open SATA2 port, SATA0 hard drive,
SATA1 DVD drive.

I open port, install SATA cable to port2, put power cable to drive and power
cable to IDE/SATA adapter.

Reboot ........ light flashes on front for drives .... computer only
recognized DVD? ... Tried add hardware in control panel, does not recognize
drive.

Do I need to set the control jumper to slave? cable select? primary?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Steve
