How to plug HD on ULTRA ATA100 TX2 Promise controller
Hi everybody, Eric here from Paris (sry for bad english)
it seems i've been out there for a long time.
My system (don't laugh)
XPSR350at800 now after CPU upgrade
512 MB RAM
WinXPPRO
original HD : WD 6.4Gb ATA33 (1998 guys ) on MOBO
2ND HD : Maxtor 40Go ULTRA ATA100 on promise TX2 controller
OS on C: Win98SE on WD6.4Go
OS on G: WinXP_PRO
Multi_Boot works fine for 2 years but now as i don't use Win98 SE anymore and i'd like to set as first HD on C: my Maxtor40GoATA100 and keep as backup or basic storage the old WD6.4Gb
Questions : What if i unplug from Mobo the C: (WD 6.4) and plug it to the second channel on Promise controller ? will i have it behind the WD40Go ?
Do i have to have at least 1 HD on MOBO ? or can i have all my HD on the controller ?
I know i will have to reinstall all but it is not a pb.
What i want is :
C: my Maxtor 40Go ata100
D: My old WD6.4Go
Both on promise controller himself on PCI slot
Do u think it is possible ?
tks for anwers
Eric from Paris
