Ok, definitely an 80 wire. Thanks for the pics to clarify.
And yes, this is a P4s8x motherboard. the chipset for setting up SATA confused me BAD. I could not even get it recognized even with the SATA drivers on disk, and then I hit CTRL-F to enter the setup utility and it said it detected the hard disk and recomended I run it in raid striped mode 0+1 (or vice versa). I only had the one hard disk in it when I set it up, and I took the recomended option and it installed the OS and is running great. After I had the OS and all my software installed I popped in the second HDD which was auto detected and runs fine until I try to do a HDD to HDD copy. I'm just giving more information in case it's relevant.
I'm running a chkdsk on the E drive now just to make sure it's ok.
So are you saying I should manually select the hard disks in the BIOS? Currently they are set to auto. I mean, I guess I could just slowly copy over all my data and pull out the HDD since I won't be using it in that PC, but I would like to solve the problem just for learning purposes.
Any help is appreciated, this motherboard was excellent and simple for me until I tried to setup a SATA drive.
