I have just purchased a WD 160 GB SATA drive and am trying to set it up.
Should I have the BIOS set to RAID or IDE? Second, which diver do I
install - Promise ATA, Promise RAID, or Via?

Thanks

Raid is for 2 drives if you only have one don't worry about it.
You can use the Intel Sata port or the Promise, I use the Promise
because it does UDMA 6. use the promise IDE (378 ATA) driver if not going
raid.
 
Thanks for the reply; I decided to RTFM today and was suprised to see that
I had seperate Promise and Intel SATA connectors (hey it was dark and it was
late!). The references in the manual started to make sense and I started
the installation from scratch. I am running Drive Copy as we speak (on the
other machine of course) and hopefully we won't see this question from me
again!
