What settings should the SATA be set to? I have a Dell computer and the setup drives seems to be off?

Question

My drive settings seems to be incorrect. What should be the settings for primary and secondary Sata? What should be the settings for Primary and Slave drives?

Answer 1

Keep everything on cable select and it will work better.  The problem is most likely that when you run setup (on Windows, I assume?), the SATA driver is not available.  You need to download it from either the manufacturer or microsoft and put it on a floppy or CD.  Then at one point (early) during Windows Setup, it will ask whether you have "other drivers" to install.  

As for which is primary or secondary...  that depends on which connector you are connected to.  You'll find out by checking the motherboard documentation, or repair manual for your Dell.  

My advice is, just install Windows on one drive, then add the second drive later.  you don't need to do them both at once.
