Is there good PCI SATA card
that will boot Windows XP pro?
I have DELL Dimension 2350 running Windows XP pro.
The motherboard only has IDE Hard drive.
I purchased on Ebay the item below:
4Port PCI Combo SATA RAID + IDE ATA 133 Controller Card
I installed a 40GB SATA drive.
This works OK.
However I cannot Boot from the SATA drive.
What is a good PCI SATA card
that will boot Windows XP pro?
Any suggestions will be helpfull.
Thank You
