Scrufdog Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Why is it when I have my System drive plugged into SATA1 everything tells me it is on channel 5? Why, when all 4 ports are plugged in, does this happen? SATA1 = Channel 5 = Logical Disk 2 SATA2 = Channel 6 = Logical Disk 3 SATA3 = Channel 2 = Logical Disk 0 SATA4 = Channel 3 = Logical Disk 1 This really screwed up my attempt at installing Dual Boot OS's. I dont understand why everything is switched around. I briefly searched and scanned the stickies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Where are you seeing this information displayed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rewen Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Yea mine's like that too in the CMOS (enable/disable sata channels) and POST. The actual silkscreen text on the mobo shows correctly aswell as everywhere else when you're using it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrufdog Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 the logical disk ID's Im seeing in Windows XP disk management. I rearranged things today to at least get them in the order I wanted. Right now Logical Disk 0 is my 74g Raptor, thats plugged into SATA 4 Logical Disk 1 is my 300g Maxtor, plugged into SATA 1 Logical Disk 2 is my 320 WD, plugged into SATA 2 The channel listings I got from Ubuntu Linux hardware detection. After the rearrange Linux shows this.... 74g = sda = scsi3, plugged into SATA4 300 = sdb = scsi5, plugged into SATA1 320 = sdc = scsi6, plugged into SATA2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
