Os install Serial ATA or EIDE drive.

[steve]

HELLO, I HAVE A MSI KT6V MOTHER BOARD AND WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS A
RIGHT OR WRONG WAY WHEN INSTALLING THE OPERATING SYSTEM, "WHEN USING A
SERIAL ATA DRIVE AND A EIDE HARD DRIVE TOGETHER.

IF I INSTALL THE OS ON THE EIDE DRIVE NO PROBLEM. WHEN I INSTALL TO THE
SATA HARD DRIVE I MUST UNPLUG THE EIDE HARD DRIVE FOR THE SATA DRIVE TO BE
DETECTED.ONCE OPERATING SYSTEM IS INSTALLED I CAN PLUG THE EIDE HARD DRIVE
BACK IN AND EVERYTHING WORKS.

DOES IT MATTER WHICH HARD DRIVE DRIVE I INSTALL THE OS ON ?

IS THIS COMMON PROBLEM WHEN USING SATA AND EIDE HARD DRIVES TOGETHER.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT.

Not an XP issue BUT a motherboard/BIOS issue.
