What do you mean by:
System boots off the SATA drive ok but it still sees SATA as drive 2 and IDA
as drive 1.
IE: where is this (drive 1 vs 2) displayed and why do you think it is of
concern?
If you are referring to the POST screen where the drives are first listed,
this is the customary order of display IE 1st IDE channel Master, then Slave
followed by next IDE channel (master & slave) ... followed by each enabled
contoller with its PATA and SATA drives. This is the standard order of
enumeration and has no impact on performance itself. You will get an
elongated boot time if you have excess controllers enabled as each
controller will initialise, look for drives and check configuration.
Why do you think this slows things down? (I am not doubting you, just trying
to understand the manifestation of the problem so gain an insight into why /
how a slowdown could occur etc.)
For 8KNXP, you might have installed the drive on the Silicon Image
controller inadvertantly in which case you will get another phase during
POST before drives are listed. Similarly if it is on the Intel (On Chip)
controller another screen appears prior to POST, but this flashes by quite
quickly and appears only if RAID is enabled.
What OS are you running?
