I bought this motherboard about 8 years ago and have always used it with IDE drives. I guess I'll be putting in the new motherboard sooner than planned.
Question -- does the motherboard SUPPORT sata drives, or are you using an ADD-IN card?
Astute question, but SATA probably is on his motherboard, unless it was rather old when "new". SATA started showing up on motherboards about 11 years ago. I even have one supporting SATA onboard that runs an ancient Sempron Socket A/462. http://www.biostar-usa.com/mbdownloads.asp?model=M7NCD%20ULTRA On 2014-03-23 20:34 (GMT-0700) Linda Walsh composed:
Hey -- notice I DIDN'T tell people about the benefits of lilo -- and how it still boots 13.1 from hard disk _without_ an initrd??
I don't know any benefits of Lilo, since I last used it over a decade ago. I much prefer correcting config file typos on the fly at boot time instead of via rescue boot. :-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
