My motherboard is 865PE motherboard of a brand, recently upgraded a 120GB SATA hard drive. It’s said that the performance and speed of SATA hard drives are better than IDE hard drive, so i want to install the system on SATA hard disk, use it to boot the system. But after connected to computer, i found no matter how sata hard drive will not start the computer, how can I get my computer started from the SATA hard drive?
A: When boot after installed SATA hard disk, press "DEL" key to enter the BIOS. In the BIOS, Integrated Peripherals menu, the "Onboard H / W Serial ATA" item is set to "enable", then enter the Advanced BIOS features menu, the "SATA / RAID / SCSI boot order" function is replaced with "SATA", the final set the "First boot device" to "SATA", it will be ok.

How to optimize SATA hard drive
Recently I purchased a Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 160GB hard drive, it’t the optimization of the SATA hard drives and PATA hard drives as the same before?
A: First of all, SATA hard drive can be optimized the same as the traditional hard disk, for example, defragment, etc.. In addition, the correct motherboard driver installation is also very important. After you install a good driver, and in some chipset platform requires the correct settings, open the DMA mode, the problem usually lies in the VIA chipset, etc., Intel's is rarely the case. There are a number of chipset vendors for the convenience of users, also offers a special hard disk speed up software, such as: Intel's IAA (Intel Application Accelerator), software installation, the program will automatically use the physical characteristics of the best hard drive transmission mode to achieve the purpose of optimizing the hard disk.

How to partition 250g hard drive
I found partition tools such as FDISK and DM GHOST software tools seems not support the new 250GB SATA hard drive in the application. How to partition the 250g hard drive?
SATA hard disk is to support these tools software. The such problems of use of partition software have occurred on the South Bridge ICH5 motherboard, because they are based on the DOS platform, you must use compatibility mode (Compatible Mode), when set to enhanced mode (Enhanced Mode) will trigger the failure that the software can not use.
In addition, the use of 160GB and larger capacity SATA drives, due to this type of partition software FDISK (Windows 98 version included) and DM introduced earlier, it can not well support more than 137GB hard drive 48bit addressing, it may lead to inexplicable failures,
So the most secure way is to install SP1 or SP2 of Windows XP (or Windows 2000 SP4), before the installation of the system, only hours only spend to install a partition. after install the system, modify the registry, through "Start → Run", type regedt32 command, open the Registry Editor, Create a new subkey under the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ Atapi \ Parameters], named as EnableBigLba, type is DWORD, value is 1. Then use the "Disk Management" feature in the "Start → Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Computer Management" to create the rest of the district.
