I recently re-built a computer with the following components
MB: Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 (2.2GHZ)
2 GB Corsair DDR memory
SATA HDD
This project was a upgrade, I used the previous PSU and case.
While the old system (XP-2) was still functional I bought a SATA add-in card and mirrored the old HDD to the new SATA drive. The SATA drive showed up in Windows Explorer and was working.
When I replaced the MB and other new components, I transfered the old IDE HDD and did a repair install of XP.
So far so good but now the SATA drive doesn't show up in explorer.
How do I get the MB to recognize the SATA drive?
In the BIOS SATA drives are config. as IDE, not RAID.
I'm hoping that I can get the SATA drive recognized and then eventually disconnect the IDE drive.
Thanks in advance

p.s. the Gigabyte manual only has instructions for configuring SATA drives in a RAID array.
