I have an HP 71070n with a sata hard drive installed. I'd like to be
able to use my smaller Maxtor IDE drive to run Windows XP and use the
bigger sata one for storage. The motherboard is an Asus P5LP-LE and has
only one IDE slot which is being used for the two optical drives. So I
bought an i2S IDE to SATA converter (dongle) to use in one of the other
three sata slots.
However, so far it's not being detected. It powers on, but dosn't show
up in the bios for boot order. I've tried removing the pure sata drive
that came installed and putting the IDE converted one in slot one and
still no detection. I've tried the jumpers on it in every position
including removing them.
The sata drivers are installed with Windows already because the pure
sata drive will work fine.
Anyone try anything similar or have any ideas? Thanks!
