The master disk is SATA, the secondary disk is IDE, and the master disk has entered the system, but

Your IDE and SATA are set to Auto, and the system is better XP, which is more compatible.

Suggestion: Set the IDE hard disk as the main disk, the optical drive as the slave disk, and SATA plugged in the SATA1 interface, I personally feel that there should be no problem, please carefully check whether the jumper of your old hard disk and optical drive is absolutely correct.

SATA is not the same as IDE management.

SATA is actually not divided into master disk and slave disk, a line is only connected to SATA hard disk, and where does it come from.

You can set your IDE disk to its original style.

Also need to see if your motherboard is very old?

I remember seeing a motherboard, SATA and IDE can only choose one or the other, and cannot be used at the same time.

SATA is an independent connection, so there is no master-slave problem, right?

1. You change the IDE to the main disk.

2. Does IDE have partitions? If not, you need a partition to see it;

3. Right-click on my computer - management - storage - disk management to see if you can find the IDE hard disk, and you can also see if there is a partition.

The key is not the motherboard model, but the BIOS type.

The BIOS of the AMI is a little easier to set up because it directly shows the model of the hardware in the boot sequence, such as the hard disk model WD1600AAJS, which is a Western Digital 160G hard drive, which is easy to see at a glance. Another example is the pioneer *** is the model of the pioneer optical drive.

The BIOS of the Award only uses HDD-0, HDD-1 or Disk as the hard disk, and the CD-ROM as the optical drive, and does not display the model of the hard disk and the optical drive model.

In this type of BIOS, if you want to distinguish between more than two hard disks or optical drives, you have to go to the settings from another option, such as HDD Sequence SCSI IDE First, which allows you to set that hard drive as the first hard drive. There are similar options for optical drives, you will find them if you look for them, and if you don't have these options, you can change the HDD-0 from the first boot to HDD-1.

Another digression: the read and write speed of the hard disk theoretically depends on the interface type, but in fact it depends on the transfer mode, for example, the SATA hard disk transfer mode is up to Ultra DMA Mode 6, and the IDE hard disk is up to Ultra DMA Mode 5, if your SATA hard drive also only works in Ultra DMA Mode 5 mode, which is the same as your IDE hard disk working mode, then the speed of the two hard disks is the same. But if your SATA hard drive only works in Ultra DMA Mode 4 mode, then even the IDE is not as good, but this is rare.

However, it is very common for SATA hard drives to only work in Ultra DMA Mode 5 mode.

There's a hard disk boot order.,You changed it.,Let sata's boot first.。

Turn on the SATA port, some motherboards don't have this, some do. Hehe.

The IDE hard disk and the optical drive can be connected with a data cable, which should be recognized, as for the SATA and IDE two hard disks, it seems that the boot sequence of the hard disk can be set in the BIOS.

The first question: look at how many IDE interfaces there are on the motherboard, if there are two, it is best to use two IDE cables to connect the optical drive and hard disk respectively; If you want one, connect the two interfaces on the original optical drive IDE cable to the optical drive and the hard disk respectively according to the actual distance in the case, and pay attention to the new hard disk to connect a power cord from the power supply.

The second type of round problem: two different interface of the hard disk, like your situation, even if you do not change the master and slave will not conflict, the key is that the system was installed in the SATA hard disk before, in the case of only one sensitive SATA disk, BIOS has been started from SATA disk by default, you add another IDE disk, as long as you do not manually change the BIOS settings, it is still booted from SATA disk, and the IDE disk will not be considered as the main disk from its boot, it should be noted that if you reinstall the system in the future, Be sure to boot on the SATA disk in the BIOS settings.

To sum up, there is no need to change the master-slave settings. If you have to change the master-slave settings, according to the diagram on the hard disk, MA-master, SL-slave, CS-automatic (a single hard disk is equivalent to the master) to change the jumper hat Bu Na collapse position, both of which have to be reset, SATA is the primary, IDE is the slave, very simple, but there is no practical significance.

The above are all problems of connecting to the hard disk, it should be noted that if the optical drive and the old hard disk are connected together at the same time, you need to set the old hard disk as the main and the optical drive as the slave.
