the old HDD is recognised in BIOS ? have you cabled and jumpered the old HDD correctly re. master/slave setup ?

The ATA should be master on the primary IDE. Make sure BIOS did not turn off the IDE's when the SATA was installed.

STill having trouble, disk wizard from Seagate says I haven't installed it but I have, I tried many different things to make my 200gig ata drive be the slave of the sata drive. Set it first in the jumpers as slave then master then went into the bios tried different things, not working, if someone has this kind of mother board please let me know and help me if you can thanks.

You say you are setting this up as a storage drive, does this mean you have a primary HDD, also, do you have other HDD at the time being or will this storage drive be #2 in the PC.

The reason I go into this is some HDD have specific Master/Slave settings, for example, Western Digital has an option for Stand Alone Master and Master with Slave, and setting it to Master you gotta be careful and get the right one.
Of course you would need Master with Slave jumped specifically for your case.

Same problem here!!!
I tried SATA as master and ATA as STORAGE..... I can set sucessfully set which HD the bios boost. BUT after I log in. THERE'S NO ATA HD visible in the IE....

I figured out ......
First set the boot in the following sequence:
1. CD-ROM
2.SCSI
3.IDE 0

and you can put what ever you want next. They key is SATA is recognized as SCSI. and it must boost be4 IDE.

then finally, of course, you must set jumper correctly (master/slave).... I set my DVD-burner as master and IDE HD as SLAVE. It works!!!
