If I switch from ide to sata burner what settings do I use in the bios?Do I just disable the ide and enable the sata port the burner is connected to?Do I have to adjust the boot order or will it be alright the way it is.Hard drive in sata port 1 and burner in sata port 2.Thanks

Answer 1) Just plug it in.

Answer 2) Just plug it in. You can disable the IDE controller in the BIOS at a later time - I suppose it might save a bit of eletricity. What OS are you using? Did you install the OS with the BIOS set to AHCI or IDE-emulation for the disk drives?

HTH,
