RE : Re: SATA problem on Tiger K8W (S2875ANRF)
Hi,
Thanks, but I speak about a BIOS configuration.
In general, there are 2 ways to configure a SATA interface : one is 'compatibility',
and then the SATA drive is seen like a standard IDE one.
But in my BIOS, I have only Ultra and Raid.
So I wonder if this possibility exists on my board, or not.
Best regards,
Amel
