New HDD detected as Slave

[rounakr94]

My new 1tb wd blue is detected as Slave, I connected it to sata no 2 and my old 500gb primary(MASTER AND WINDOWS IS IN IT) to sata no 1. How to solve this?

SATA drives have no master/slave setting. Only IDE/PATA drives have that.

I'm not understanding the issue here. The computer works correctly? it boots fine and everything is accessible? Were you wanting the new 1TB HDD to be your boot drive?

As already stated, PATA/EIDE/IDE has master/slave attributes. SATA does not.

What you probably see is a listing of attached drives ORDERED BY which SATA connection they use

Oh - your sata controller is configured into IDE mode. That's why it shows that.
Normally is should be in AHCI mode.

Anyway - if windows is already installed, then just forget about it and leave it be.

Agreed. If it isn't acting like its broken, don't fix it (where you're guaranteed to break it and require a reformat and re-install of everything.)

Oh, that maybe. Cant it be changed to AHCI after windows installation?

It changes how the data is accessed. The different modes are not compatible with each other.

Solved it. Now HDD is detected as SCSI 0 and SCSI 1. And doesnt show as IDE

Well .. there is a way to change that. But it's not that simple, requires advanced tinkering with settings and and if not done right, will prevent your pc from booting.

I did that onlty, changed registry values from 3 to 0 on the respective fields and changed bios to AHCI from port 0 to 3 and IDE from port 4 to 5

I did it from here http://www.overclock.net/t/1227636/how-to-change-sata-modes-after-windows-installation
