SATA boot drive

Hello everyone,

I have my DVD and hard disk that was dropped ... Both were IDE (old config: P)
So I bought a recorder and a SATA disk drive.
As against, I can not boot on the DVD player to reinstall windows ...
How should I do it?
Thank you in advance!

Re: SATA boot drive

At the beginning of the startup press F8 or F11 according to your motherboard and you should arrive at the "Boot Menu"
There you have to select your recorder!

Re: SATA boot drive

If the MBoard doesn't configure SATA controllers natively you need to install them. Look in Disk management to see if the drive shows there. If so you may need to take ownership of the files. Look below to see how.

Watch the startup screens to see if that SATA drive is showing there. If not, you may need to Enable that controller in the BIOS.
