...ide as main, having trouble with sata as a slave, I am trying to do this because my sata drive which is my main drive (normally I have the sata as the main drive and the ide drive as a slave) has been hit with a virus that funnied up all the shortcuts and made all the exe's not work. So I have set up windows on my second drive in the hope's that I can scan the sata drive as a slave with my anti virus (I could be wrong about the virus but it seams obvious) and go about fixing it or copying files I need and then reinstalling windows on it (the sata incase I've lost you lol). The problem is when I am in windows on the second drive I cant find the sata, what am I doing wrong? Any sugestions appreciated.
btw everything is hooked up ok because when i go into the bios and sellect the sata as the first boot device it boots up in the corrupt windows thats on the sata, if I change it back ot where I am now I cant see the sata drive but I know its there working, also I instaleld all the drivers from the mobo cd all the sata bleh.
I hope I havent missed any info, I'm kinda tired now hehe.
Bye.
