daxleet Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 How do I set my dvd drive as primary master and HD as primary slave? I know I'd have to open my PC up but I don't know what to do inside it. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikonnut Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 daxleet, What MoBo are you running? SATA isn't like IDE (no slave/master/cable select) and you should be able to set your DVD as 1st boot device and your HDD as second in your BIOS.

The chipset and southbridge are in my sig. I read a thread where I have to swap something about primary and slave because I have the 'IOATA Controller blocking device bus' or whatever.
