I had to replace my old computer. I am trying to
reinstall a dual boot system on my computer. (Was XP and ETCH; but will now be
Vista and ETCH). I have an ETCH system disk, and an encrypted back-up of my
former Debian ETCH system that I want to use.
My new COMPAQ computer has two SATA connections,
coming from the Hard drive and the CDROM; which go to two ports on the
Motherboard.
I want to connect another SATA drive; and I bought
a ?Y? SATA connection to accommodate it.
I installed a SATA Controller: RocketRAID 1742 (2
Internal SATA and 2 External eSATA. PCI SATA II RAID Controller).
The Rocket... has four connections on it; two of
one type; and two of another.
I connected the drives' SATA connectors to their
apparent ports on the Rocket...
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/rr1742.htm (COM3 and
COM4)
The Rocket... scanned for devices; but none were
listed.
When booting I got the error ?DISK BOOT
FAILURE?
I returned the original drive's connector to the
Motherboard; and disconnected the new drive from the Controller. Windows then
booted with no problem.
Am I connecting to the Rocket... wrong?
