Windows 7 with SATA hard disk - in IDE mode HD is not recogised?
As the title suggests, I want to install Windows 7 to a new SATA Hard Disk.
In the BIOS have set SATA mode to IDE.
However, when booting the Windows 7 setup disc, it cannot find the hard disk at all.
If I switched to AHCI mode in BIOS however, it sees the HD no problem, but I don't want to use AHCI mode (want to dual boot with XP later, no problem with this I know how to do it).
How can make the Windows 7 boot disc see my SATA HD (Western Digital) in IDE mode?
Do I need a driver and if so can someone point me in the correct direction?
