Hi, I'm new to the forum, not new to computers but know nothing about Sata. I have a new Western Digital 500 Gig Mybook Premium Es external drive for USB II/Sata. My current system is an Intel P4 D865PERL motherboard with 2 Gig Ram, 3.4 Ghz Processor and 200 Gig Maxtor IDE internal. There are two Sata/Raid ports on the M/B. The Sata has never been used on my board before. I installed a 2 port Sata extension from the M/B to the back of case. Can anyone tell me how to configure my system to recognize this drive?
The drive works fine on USB II.
