So I decided the old DZ68BC MB with its I5 2500 would still be useful to store data.
I update some fans and the CPU cooler, unplugged 4 of the 5 1TB Seagate HD's.
Set the one HD on Disk 0 according to the BIOS (was Disk 2 the first check) and did a clean install of Win 7 Pro.
Go through the usual driver updates and installs, no problem.
For grins and giggles I pull up Disk Management and it tells me the single HD with the system files is Disk 0 same as the BIOS.
Shut down, plug in the 4 other HD's which the BIOS id's in the order they are plugged into the SATA sockets.
Startup, go to Disk Management and what was Disk 0 is now Disk 4?????
Can anybody tell me why? Would be nice to now the logic behind changing it too . . . ;>)
