SATA what?

Nonsense. Just select SCSI in boot priority order and SATA in SCSI
priority order (the wording may differ in different BIOSes). Even DOS
can then boot from the SATA drive.

So the SATA is e: f: g:. Also I found out the hard way that Partition
Magic does not support SATA.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. This caught my eye and my feeble brain couldn't
believe
it. Several vendors are pushing SATA drives which won't work with WXP?
So
I looked it up on the WD website and they recommend loading the SATA
driver
(F6) on CD boot before installation of WXP just like a SCSI HD. So
maybe
you missed something?


I'm using the SATA with XP just not as a boot drive. When
installing XP you can load the SATA/RAID driver with my ASUS A7V8X by
hitting, I believe F6 early in the installation. I did this many
times. Usually there would be some kind of fatal error during
installation. I think I may have acctually gotten to boot XP a couple
of times though it would then crash. That mayhave been one of the
times I'd install to an IDE and image that onto the SATA. I went round
and round about this for a couple of weeks. The service guy at the
place I bought the SATA then told me that Microsoft dosn't support
SATA boot drives.
Even after going with an IDE boot drive there were some
pitfalls with ASUS and Microsoft Windows Update drivers that were best
not installed. I think this stuff is a work in progress. It works fine
now as a second drive.

Someone also posted that your SATA can not coexist with a bootable IDE hd.
Maybe you tried to boot the SATA but still had your IDE HD flagged as the
active partition? Another poster said he didn't have any trouble
installing his SATA. But I know what you mean about the work in progress
don't let it stay too long as a second drive because I'm sure that's not why
you bought the SATA. Service guys don't know everything some read from a
script or haven't experienced the problem and telephone service techs might
be offshore playing solitare before you called.

HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!!

READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little

while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,

and came across an article similar to this that said you could make

thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of

$6.00! So I thought, Yeah right, this must be a scam,but

like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said

that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the

article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of

the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.

(There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it

over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I

figured: what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00,

right? Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!...

within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I

figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my

first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had

made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over

$10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I

have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in

rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more

than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most

importantly, why it works....Also, make sure you print a copy of this

article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.

I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you

will start making more money than you thought possible by doing

something so easy!

Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or

download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in!

It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)

IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not

illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!!

If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive

extraordinary dividends.

PLEASE NOTE:

Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be

yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of

the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its

success by carefully adhering to the instructions.

You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business

your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in

the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are

happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made

from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from

people like you and me asking to be included in that list.

Here are the 4 easy steps to success:

STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on

each piece of paper;PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. Now

get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of

paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent

thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal

them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of

paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00

bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY

LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for

it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried

about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.

Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed

legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:


#1) Jeff Millan

1113 N. 19 ½

McAllen,TX 78501

#2) R. Overton

P.O. Box 18818

So. Lake Tahoe, CA 96151

#3) KEVIN LEE

8377 APT. I MONTGOMERY RUN RD.

ELLICOTT CITY MD 21043

#4) Stephanie Hicks

1283 Evening Canyon

Henderson NV 89014

#5) Matt Madracki

P.O. Box 1529

Sutton West, Ontario

L0E 1R0

#6)Ronald Andrews

2100 beekman place apt.1m

new york,ny 11225


STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move

the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR

Name as number 6 on the list.

STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as

close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at

least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All

you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!

This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18

Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.

Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money,

you can use it again, and again.

PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the

honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully

adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of

integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many

others have received will come your way.

NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,

either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.

This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might

be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail
theft.)

So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,

six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List

Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list

geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will

be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for

only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send

it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!

---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------

Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own

posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and

drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy'

from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the

computer's memory.

Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top

of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will

paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name

to the list.

Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If

you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always

have this file to go back to.

Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for

various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,

discussions.)

Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new

message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste

from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that

everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a

particular group, click the post message button. You're done with

your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is

jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of

it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!

**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!
BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A

MINIMUM OF 200**

That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days!
You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail
you

will receive. If

you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as

the postman will deliver it.

**JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**

Now the WHY part:

Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So
then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5
persons

who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200

postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each

of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each

make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I

will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn

around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5

replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the

fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with

my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me

$3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200

newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200

newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original

investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the

list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send

out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6

again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you

realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the

internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are

now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think

so... People have said, &quote;what if the plan is played out and no

one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that

happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest

people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are

willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new

users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual

internet.

Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really

work.

OK, instead of purchasing a SCSI hd I've decided to go ahead and get:
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 80GB SATA150
(http://www.dabs.com/products/prod-in...icklinx=259XWS)

1) Instead of purchasing a seperate PCI card for it, would it work exactly
the same if I bought a mobo with RAID built-in like this one:
Gigabyte SoA VIA KT400A ATX A L R

(http://uk.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/...P-A%20Ultra.ht
m)

2) What about the power cable? Can I use the same one as I use for UDMA
ATA/133 IDE hard drives?

3) Can I set the SATA150 hard drive as C: drive and connect 2 other 120GB
UDMA ATA/133 hard drives to the said mobo and have them act as D: and E:
drives respectively in Windows XP?

4) According to the spec of the said mobo, there are "3 x cooling fan pin
header". Does that mean I can connect 3 CoolerMaster Quiet 8cm Case Fans?

TIA!

There is nothin on the web i have seen that says microsoft doesnt support
SATA, after all it is still an interface just a fairly new one
