Q: I have one IDE hard disk and one SATA hard disk. How can I assign SATA
Hard disk as First boot device?
A:
After entering system BIOS, access Advanced BIOS Feature. And then press enter
on Hard disk boot Priority. You will see the mode of your SATA hard disk. Select

the Post phase, you can see ATA-66 (or 100) message while hard drive is being

BIOS Setting
It is assumed that users have correctly adopted modules and connected all the
devices cables required before turning on AT or ATX power. CPU, CPU Fan, 240-pin
DDR2 SDRAM, keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, IDE hard disk, printer, VGA
connector, device cables, ATX accessories or 12V 4-pin power cable are good
examples that deserve attention. With no assurance of properly and correctly
accommodating these modules and devices, it is very possible to encounter system
failures that result in malfunction of any device.
To make sure that you have a successful start with BLUEBOARD, it is
recommended, when going with the boot-up sequence, to hit “DEL” key and enter
the BIOS setup menu to tune up a stable BIOS configuration so that you can wake up
your system far well.
