Hi
I recently bought a new motherboard and a serial ATA hard disk. I already
had a UDMA disk, and planned to use both. When I boot the machine, the BIOS
screens are displayed, then the screen goes black for about a minute, after
which normal boot resumes.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Here is some more detail;
The motherboard is a Gigabyte 8IG-1000Pro , which supports SATA and UDMA
disks together.
As my new SATA disk is faster, I'm using that as a boot disk. However the
old UDMA disk is enumerated first, so I have the following partitions
c: UDMA system boot files
d: SATA Windows partitions
....and several other partitions.
Wakiking up after hibernation is also a slow process. The bar showing
progress moves *very* slowly.
Some specs;
Motherboard; Gigabyte 8IG1000 Pro
Processor; P4 2.6 HT, 800FSB
SATA Disk; DiamondMax Plus9 120GB SATA150
UDMA Disk; Can't recall. Somethinmg 3 years old.
Thanks a lot,
Dean Ayres
