Hi
I bought a new motherboard becuase I wanted to upgrade my CPU to the AMD FX 4100 and my old Motherboard didn't support AM3+ so I installed the new Mobo(Gigabyte 970A-D3) but I ran into a major problem. My system drive(the one with Windows on it aka C: drive) is an IDE drive and this motherboard only has SATA ports(no IDE). So I decide to dust off my old ITE 8218 ATA RAID card in the hope that I can boot Windows via the card since it seems to detect on PC startup. No go, the motherboard and it's bios don't even detect the hard drive that's attached to the ATA controller. Is there a setting or something I can change to get my PC to detect that HDD as bootable?
I read on other forums that you can change the boot settings in BIOS to SCSI and that allows the PC to boot via an ATA card but my motherboard doesn't have that as an option in BIOS setup.
