Question Do Sata HDD require RAID for it to work ( PCMech Forums Drives and Storage ) Updated: 2009-06-04 05:20:17 (1) Do Sata HDD require RAID for it to work Do i have to run raid in order to make my sata hdd work? I started out with a IDE hdd with vista, I want to upgrade to a sata hdd with the old IDE hdd as a slave drive. How am I able to make this work out? My situation now is that I installed vista in the new sata hdd however when I load it up normally I get a BSOD right after the windows boot up bar. If I go back to the old HDD in IDE vista works. However I want IDE to be slave not the os. HElp? In my gigabyte mobo I have a Sata DVD drive Sata HDD and IDE HDD Only the IDE and SATA DVD works fine on my computer But If i try to run SATA HDD alone ir will boot up the windows bar but bsod and restarts. All I did was install vista and restarted the computer and it acted up. Why would it show vista at the start and after restarting it doesn't? anyways the error code is 1000007e c0000006 81ccfb72 8b594930 8b59462c files that help describe the prob minidump sysdata.xml version.txt Plus I went to my mobo and set it to factory setting (no oc) no luck. Answers: Do Sata HDD require RAID for it to work ( PCMech Forums Drives and Storage ) Do Sata HDD require RAID for it to work No, you don't have to use Raid in order to use a SATA drive. As far as using your IDE as a slave, I presume you have an IDE port on the motherboard or controller card. If not, there are IDE to SATA adapters. You would have to either use cable select to use it as a slave, or set the jumpers to the slave position. You would also need to change your bios I think in order for it to boot later than the SATA. As far as the BSOD, I don't know. It might be a problem with your formatting or installation of Windows. We'll see what someone else comes up with. quartet-man - Source: Do Sata HDD require RAID for it to work PCMech Forums Drives and Storage - Previous Question: Which drive to install to PCMech Forums Drives and Storage - Next Question: Autorun error on my dvd drive PCMech Forums Drives and Storage
