My used pc came with xp no restore discs and malware so badly it died says to boot from cd, not possible. Problem 2 since it died i ripped out the main 160gb ide hdd and want to use the sata 500gb blue caviar hdd that was the secondary drive in it i also want to run my optical drive as sata seeings its sata only.
So question is if i throw in W7 disc to fresh install will it work out for me and auto config my optic/hdd automatically? Or do i need to adjust my mobo bios to run them in sata b4 i run the W7 disc mobo is a gigabyte brand GA-EP45UD3P ld prefer the hdd to be sata port0 and optic drive to be port1
Please respond in noob terms lol
