also need a free power lead fitted with a SATA power connector. Most systems that
come with SATA ports have at least one SATA power connector. If this is not the
case, you will need a Molex-to-SATA adapter. In case your system has the SATA
power connector but it is already occupied, use a Y-adapter that splits a lead in two.
B.3.1 Steps for installing a new internal SATA drive.
1. Find an unused SATA port using the documentation provided with your PC. If you
are going to connect your new SATA drive to a SATA controller card, install the
card. If you are going to connect the SATA drive to the motherboard, enable
applicable motherboard jumpers, if any. Most hard drive kits include a SATA
interface cable and mounting screws. Attach one end of the SATA interface cable to
a SATA port on the motherboard or interface card, and the other to the drive.
2. Then plug the power-supply lead or use a Molex-to-SATA adapter.
3. Prepare your drive. If you're installing a SATA 300 hard drive, check your PC's (or
SATA host adapter's) documentation to make sure it supports SATA 300 drives. If it
doesn't, you might need to change a jumper setting on the drive (see the drive's
manual for instructions). If you have a SATA 150 hard drive, you don’t need to
change any settings.
4. Turn on the PC and look for the new drive in the boot-up messages. If you don't
see it, enter the PC's CMOS setup program and search the BIOS configuration menu
for an option that will let you enable SATA for the ports you are using (or maybe
you will just need to enable SATA). See your motherboard documentation for
instructions specific to your BIOS.
5. If the operating system does not recognize the SATA drive, you need the
appropriate drivers for your SATA controller. If the drive is recognized, go to step 8.
Usually, it is best to obtain the latest driver version from the motherboard or
SATA controller manufacturer's website.
If you download a copy of the SATA controller drivers, place the driver files to a
known location on your hard drive.
6. Boot from the old hard drive.
The operating system should detect the SATA controller and install the
appropriate software. You might need to provide the path to the driver files.
7. Ensure that the SATA controller and the connected SATA hard drive are correctly
detected by the operating system. To do this, go to the Device Manager.
SATA controllers usually appear under the SCSI and RAID controllers section of
Device Manager, while hard drives are listed under the Disk drives section.
The SATA controller and SATA hard drive must not be displayed in the Device
Manager with a yellow exclamation mark or any other error indication.
8. After you have installed the hard disk in your computer and have configured it in
BIOS, one can say that the PC "knows" about its existence and its main parameters.
However, it is still not enough for the operating system to work with the hard disk.
In addition, you have to create partitions on the new disk and format the partitions
using Acronis True Image Home. See
Chapter 14. Adding a new hard disk
. Then
configure your BIOS to boot from the SATA controller and boot from the SATA hard
drive to ensure it works.
