I'm not going to get into all of the errors I've gotten so far, but rather start from scratch and state the errors as I go along.
First I need to know this:
- Does it matter where the HDDs and DVD drive are hooked up on a SATA power connector (three connectors) coming from the PSU? I get confused when all of these master/slave terms are going around.
- I don't know if I should have the HDDs set RAID, AHCI, or IDE in the BIOS. I have two HDDs. One is currently blank and the other is just a data drive. Also does it matter what SATA ports these are connected to when installing Windows?
I have a Windows 7 Installation disk. I want to do a clean custom install to the blank HDD and need to know some of the correct BIOS settings for this. This all revolves around me getting some errors of which I can't remember.
