Can't you put the SATA drive on native instead of IDE in your bios ?<br>It decreases performance and could be problematic.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/9/19 Keith Roberts <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:keith@karsites.net">keith@karsites.net</a>></span><br>

</div></div>Well I'd wipe the drive clean using Gparted with a cross<br>
format. Do a minimal kickstart installation to install GRUB<br>
on the MBR.<br>

Prior to that make sure the BIOS settings are OK for the<br>
SATA drive.<br>
<br>
That shouldn't take to long.<br>
