I wanted to use this for just analyzing the SETI@Home data sets they provide to folks to help them analyze all the recorded star noise. I wanted to use a SATA 120 GB SSD (drive 0) paralleled with a SATA 500GB (drive 1) 7200 rpm hard drive. The old box is running right now with an old 30 GB IDE drive and Win XP pro on it. I have the 120 GB SATA SSD installed as drive 0 and I have an OEM win 7 software package I purchased a long while back but never used. My problem now is that if I remove the win xp pro hard drive so that the SATA drive is ready to be installed, then the CD will nto start or run without that being on a another, drive, like the old floppy drive. Seems like I am in a catch 22 condition. I have lots of old software and at one time this morning I managed to format the SATA SSD with NTFS, but not bootable apparently because when I remove the IDE drive and check the bios it shows up there as the hard drive to boot from. But it won’t, lol. Even when I insert the new old win 7 pro disk it will not do a thing. So I am ready to pull the rest of my hair out. I can put it all back to non SATA and put the software onto a new 250 GB PATA drive and just use that, But, dang, I want to boot from the SSD! Any thought out there other than kill myself right now? I think I am going to do that and see what happens…</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Any help or ideas?</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">mayf </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif">_________________________<br>drmayf<br>Worlds Fastest Sunbeam, period.<br>204.913 mph flying mile average speed<br>210.779 mph exit (not top) speed</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div></div></div><!--end of _originalContent --></div></body></html>
