Where did my SATA go? Friday, April 7, 2006 at 3:14 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Paul Hewitt (238 messages posted) I just replaced my mobo today. The old one had PRI and SEC SATA connectors and SATA1 and SATA2 connectors. I had 2 80 GB drives on the PRI and SEC connections and they worked as one large drive. The new board has SATA 0-3 connectors. I hooked the drives up to 0 and 1 and they show up as IDE drives in the BIOS. They do not show up in XP explorer at all. They do show up in the device manager though. I seem to remember there was something I had to do in XP to make it recognize the drives on the old board but I cant remember what it was. What are the odds that I will retain the data that was on them? Responses to this message: re: Where did my SATA go? (Johnb33: Friday, April 7, 2006 at 4:15 pm) re: Where did my SATA go?
