SATA help

That isn't my issue. My issue is that my computer freezes.

The reason I said this was because you said "Detecting IDE devices" is one of the things, so I though that maybe the BIOS thinks it is a EIDE, and thats why it is shutting down. That is just an idea I had, no idea if its correct though.
Good luck bro!

yeah well, i had the same problem, check and make sure that the hard drive is booting up, a lot of times my hard drive gets unplugged and because of that my computer freezes. You also mentioned that you get a blue screen even with other harddrives, try using a different power connector. Then try unplugging the hard drive and checking the bios.

Just to make sure, am I suppose to connect both the molex and the SATA cable?
Can I boot the HD using another computer, and still have it to work with mine?

If this dude is still here, did you fix it??

One workaround is that you can buy a device for under $20 from newegg that is an IDE/SATA adapter.
After you've installed your OS - or while, since it gives you the option prior to installation - you can install your SATA drivers that came with the HD.
