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.

What to do my SATA drives can not be recognized
My computer configuration is: AMD K8 3000 +, ASUS K8N-VM, GeIL DDR400 512MB, Seagate Barracuda SATA 160 (ST3160812AS), the operating system is WindowsXP SP2, but I found the system hard drive was recognized as a portable hard disk and the system the taskbar has a "Safely Remove Hardware" sign, will affect the normal use? read and write speed also is very slow, the sata hard drive can not be recognized, what should I do?
In general, SATA hard drive is recognized as a portable external hard drives in Windows XP is normal, and will not affect its normal use, if the mouse point system tray "Safely Remove Hardware" sign, will see your hard disk drives, if you point "stop" button at the same time, and it will not work, so do not worry misuse affect the use, if your hard disk read and write slowly, be sure to have installed the speed drive of SATA interface.
