Hi SuSE people.
Kind of an ignorant question I guesss, but who knows.
Presently running 9.2 and 10.0 on one IDE disk, Win 98 on the other smaller IDE drive. Running a CDRom and a DVD burner on the other IDE2 connector. Downloaded 10.2 and want to install it but would rather not blow away the other installs. (Have to keep Win for my Flight Planning software)
Anyway, my MB is a K8T Neo2 - AMD64 and is SATA capable.
Here is the stupid question......Can I add a SATA drive to this setup and install 10.2 on it? (No snickering please) and if not how about a big firewire or external USB ??
Hello: Is this MB an MSI K8T Neo2-F or K8T Neo2-FIR (socket 939)? If it is then its a relatively new MB and you should not have any problem attaching a SATA hard drive. Just attach your SATA disk to the SATA1 connector on the MB. Then enter the BIOS and search for a setting like enable SATA disk and set it on. It will says that SATA1 will be Third master hard drive or something similar. After inserting the 10.2 install DVD and rebooting the computer (don't forget save the new BIOS settings) the install system should recognize the new drive as 'sda' (not hdx). I downloaded the MB manual but it is not detailed enough where to find SATA setup.
