Note: What is the difference between? ATA and SATA?
ATA- When you installed a hard disk on your board you had to set the jumper settings on it. either master or slave and sometimes it cannot be detected. other hard disk is not compatible on master or slave or the problem is on your ide belt or worst is on your ide connector.
SATA - thats why sata is now been out for new Mother boards it is auto detect to master or slave and fast file transfer.
