Serial ATA hookup?
 
I was wondering, I have an IDE chain right now with a primary HD and secondary CD Drive, but I ordered a Serial ATA HD this week (coming soon). When I hook this up (yes I have a Serial ATA hookup on my board), which HD will be the primary of the two? Which will be considered first and which second? I still make *both* HD's "Master" right? Because they are on different "chains"?

You'll probably be able to select which drive you want as the master in the BIOS settings.

On my computer, the SATA is considered the primary. But you will just need to check your BIOS and see how your motherboard settings are configured.

On most boards with SATA if you install the SATA drivers the SATA drive will initialize first and be your primary.
