trackrat Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 I am building my first computer containing a SATA drive.When I put XP on it and install the SATA drivers at the prompt, will it automatically recognise the drive and if I put another drive in at a later time will that also be automatically recognised..

homecomputeraid Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 trackrat,I think you're pioneering here! I have not used SATA drives yet. Do you have to buy a separate controller card for them? I imagine it's kind of like adding a SCSI Controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboy33 Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 homecomputeraidIf you have a SATA board then you don't need a controllerHowever,as you have said you need to install the drivers.Now it will be recognised and away you go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
