  Hi all,
  
  Currently i have a problem. . im using my IDE hard disk as my local drive, and now i have an extra SATA hard disk, i tried to detect it through BIOS but it cant be detected.. the hard disk is running but no detection at all. Any body can help me with it ? Mayi help me..? Power is ok.. perhaps SATA cable something wrong? or any configurations needed?
  
  Noted: IDE hard disk and SATA hard disk on the same motherboard, no problem rite?
  
  thanks a lot

  my motherboard is not that old.. just bought in March.
  
  It supports both types of hardisk, just that my OS is in my IDE harddisk

  Can you go through all the BIOS settings again? It should be there.

  its not.. i tried many times. I cant find any SATA detection option at all,
  
  and it only shows my IDE harddisk detected.

  Are you sure it's connected correctly? Can you check that it's plugged in correctly?

  I can't figure out what is going wrong. Since your motherboard BIOS doesn't have this setting, visit your motherboard website, download the latest SATA drivers and install. See if it detects.
  
  If it doesn't, download the latest version of the BIOS for your motherboard and flash it.
