ATA/IDE Configuration Please select [Compatible] when you install legacy OS (Windows NT). If native OS (Windows 2000 / XP) is installed, please select [Enhanced]. When [Compatible] is selected Combined Option It allows you to select between [SATA 1, SATA 2, SATA 3, SATA 4], [SATA 1, SATA 3, IDE 1], and [IDE 1, SATA 2, SATA 4]. If it is set to [SATA 1, SATA 3, IDE 1], then SATAII_2 (Port1), SATAII_4 (Port3) will not work. Likewise, if it is set to [IDE 1, SATA 2, SATA 4], then SATAII_1 (Port0), SATAII_3 (Port2) will not work.
Because Intel ICH7 south bridge only supports four IDE devices under legacy OS (Windows NT), you have to choose [SATA 1, SATA 2, SATA 3, SATA 4], [SATA 1, SATA 3, IDE 1], or [IDE 1, SATA 2, SATA 4] when the installed device is used with legacy OS. [SATA 1, SATA 2, SATA 3, SATA 4] Master Slave SATAII_1 (Port0), SATAII_2 (Port1) SATAII_3 (Port2), SATAII_4 (Port3) SATAII_3 (Port2) SATAII_4 (Port3) [SATA 1, SATA 3, IDE 1] SATAII_1 (Port0) [IDE 1, SATA 2, SATA 4] SATAII_2 (Port1)
