Got my new "P5WD2" and I really need some help setting a single raptor. (easy)
well this is dumb really but I just have to make sure to get things right before I start replacing my current P4C800 e dlx and [email protected] with my new P5WD2 and 660 along with a single 74 which is going to be my OS device.
first how will I go about setting the single raptor along with my other 3 none-sata storage hard disks. these 3 HDs will go into the red ide slots right (nothing will go to the blue one right?) and the raptor will go into sata1 slot. ok if this is correct, what settings will I have to change in the bios to make sure that the raptor is going to be the prime device were the OS is going to be uploaded to. I am thinking it's only a matter of setting raptor as the prime device from the bios, is that it?
and finally since I am not going to be using any raid, I will not need to use F6 and loading drivers right? or I will need to do something to take the full adventage of the 74gb raptor.
thanks a lot guys.
