Hi wayne359

You have to have jumpers set on both hard-drives as masters.I dont know if you can use cd-roms on sata with adapters.Not that i would want to but its not gonna increase the performance anyway.

Hi wayne359,

Welcome to the board :)

hey i tried the driver install straight off the disk that worked fine and then f6 then windows says i have no drives installed this is fresh install 2 raptors only on a7n8x deluxe mobo barton 2500xp. also i got these drives from newegg no instructions just drives in oem static bags. does the jumper on back of drives have to b moved to work properly?

You'll need to download silicon_v10022.zip (http://www.asus.com/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=A7N8X%20Deluxe) driver from asus.Extract it to a floppy, hit F6 on the beginning of the windows XP instalattion and follow the instructions and you're done.


also is my proc locked and what mods do i need to do to it to overclock it? what could i possibly get out off this chip i have a coolance exos and accessorris on the way.

I'm sure someone here can help you better than me on it :)

also has anyone tried to convert cdroms to sata with adapter?

No, i haven't heard about.It Doesn't work.Don't waste your time on it.

Using a SATA adapter on a CD drive wouldn't be worth it. You'd see no performance increase.

SATA drives have no master/slave/CS/single jumpers.
