I just purchased a new setup and when i boot up and go into the bios it shows the sata drive as ide. I only set up the date and time and left everything else as default. I want to install the OS but not use a raid setup, should it not show the drive as sata drive instead of a ide, or is this normal. Do i need to change something or add drivers or what. Please help me on this. thank you
It shows the sata hdd as IDE Channel 2 Master It shows the sata DVD-writer as IDE channel 1 Master ATAPI IHAS220 6 8L04
