<0> so are you booting from another windows installation on another drive? Is that where you can see it?
<1> Yes. I'm booting from a regular IDE drive.
<0> hmm
<1> Into Windows XP.
<1> The IDE drive was cloned over to the S-ATA drive using Partition Magic. It warned the drive might not be bootable, but it said the same thing when I was copying from IDE to IDE...
<0> ahh
<1> So I figured I'd go ahead with the copy anyway. I get the feeling I'm missing something deceptively simple here...
<0> there is your problem most likely, you need to have the driver for your SATA chipset installed, the only way I know to do that would be to do a clean install
<1> You mean the controller? Windows installed it when I booted back in after sticking the drive in the box.
<0> sounds also like the MBR is looking for the IDE drive by default if you cloned it
<1> Or at least, it told me it did. Perhaps it was lying!!
<0> yes, the controller
<1> Ooh.
<1> Hmmm.
<1> This makes my brain hurt.
<0> best bet would be a clean install then copy all your stuff over, might be an easier way, but that is how I would do it
<1> Clean install of WinXP you mean?
<0> yes
<1> Ugh. :P
<1> I don't relish the thought of that at all..
<0> just make sure you have your SATA drivers handy on a disk when you do it
<1> Okay. So I could probably just reinstall
<1> Whoop.
<0> might be your best bet
<1> I could probably just reinstall Windows on the System partition of the S-ATA drive, and just make sure along the way that I have the drivers handy.
<1> So...these drivers would be the ones on the CD that came with my motherboard?
<1> My chipset drivers?
<0> what kind of mobo do you have?
<1> ASUS A8N-E.
<1> Just bought it a couple days ago.
<1> I love it so far. :)
<0> oh ok Nforce 4, good pick
<1> Is it? Well, good to know. :D The guy at the store actually picked it for me.
<0> I dont know a whole lot about that board, but Im going to ***ume that you only have the SATA ports native to the chipset on that board
<1> I hadn't upgraded my system for, oh, 3 years or so. So needless to say I was a bit behind on the hardware side of things...I had no clue.
<1> I would suspect that's the case.
<0> I have an Nforce 4 board as well, but 2 seperate SATA controllers
<1> That's something I'm curious about. Windows wants to install both Parallel and Serial ATA controllers. Why is that?
<0> that is due to the chipset, the Nforce 4 chipset has both
<1> And both need to be installed?
<0> if you ever set up a RAID array, you can also span it across the SATA and IDE ports
<0> they will be installed by default
<0> I can't remember how I did mine, I set it up some time back
<1> Well, I want to run this system just with the S-ATA drive.
<1> I was getting worried that maybe that wasn't possible.
<0> yes, it's possible, just a little more work to get it working
<1> Awesome. :P
<1> Hey, would a Windows repair do the trick, as opposed to a clean install?
<0> possibly, you could try it, but Im not real sure what that would accomplish if anything for your particular situation
<1> Well, if it doesn't, I suppose there's always the alternative.
<1> Thanks very much for your help, k3rnel. :)
<0> no problem, usually Im more perky but its late and Im tired lol
<1> Take care. And get some sleep. :D
<0> thanks :D
<2> hey, one of my laptops that has a wireless card says its connected to the router with a very good signal, but i cant ping anything, not even the router, any sugestions?

<3> hi, when I click on a .wmv link, the movie automatically opens in windows media player. when I click a .mpg/.mpeg link, nothing happens.
<3> how do I force IE to open links up in media player? the option "do not play videos in web pages" is checked.
<4> ok my pc is making this weird sound
<4> whiiiiiiir
<3> get a new fan
<4> oh
<4> its the fan
<4> ?
<3> well considering all you said was "my pc is making this weird sound whiiiir" I don't really have much information to properly diagnose your problem.
<3> but considering fans generate practically all the noise you hear from the computer
<3> aside from the hard drive spinning
<5> hello. I had some non-saved document pasted in wordpad and my computer crashed. is there a way to retrieve it? perhaps it's saved in temporary folder or somewhere
