Hello Users ....I have an 160 Gb wD hardrive set to master on my Asus P4p800e
deluxe mother.....I would like to know If I could add an extra hardrive sata
as a slave...The reason for this is becuase I want to keep diffrent files in
here...But I don' know id this could be done...Do I need to dual Boot and
install the same Operating system in the Sata...I know my motherboard
supports sata Ide and Raid disks...and if its not possible ...Can you tell me
another way to add a second drive without dual booting,...I just want my
drive to appear in my computer so I could save different files
there.....thanks for your support..

asus p4p800e deluxe.
pc 3200 512mb
pc 3200 512 mb ( dual Channel )
Intel p4 2.8 ghz o'c to 3.08 ghz
Dvd rw set to master
Cdrw set to slave.
 
You just add the drive. Then you format it. SATA drives on my motherboard
all appear as Master - no such thing as Slave.

Read the manual.
 
hey thanks....but that means I need to reinstall my O.S. to the sata and use
Dual Boot ?.....can I always use my IDE wd 160Gb and have my sata on my
computer to save files ....?
