Convert to SATA cable from old

madagm · #1 Jul 13, 2007, 06:44 AM

I have a HP Presario and it crashed. I bought a new harddrive for it but it is a SATA cable. My computer has the SATA 1 and SATA 2 slots so I plugged it in SATA 1 but the computer can not read the hard drive. Is there a way to tell the computer that it shouldn't look on the main anymore but at SATA 1 instead? Thanks in advance for anyones help or advice.

You may have to enable the SATA ports within the BIOS.

Hi;
You can look up your bios, usually you might find a point that allows you to select your boot-drive!
