Sir , I have an Intel D102GGc2 Motherboard .I have connected two hard drives one Sata one Pata . And want to boot from Sata hard drive first . So my problem is that as soon as I connect both the drive Sata and Pata hard drive .The Pata hard Drive become the 1st hard drive .I could'nt able to make it 2nd boot device .I have tried in the Bios setting by going to boot option.And select Sata as 1st drive but it doesn't.

One needs to be a master and one needs to be pegged as a slave. You can have seperate OS..Win 7 on ons and XP on the other then at post screen you can select which OS you want.

Hi,
The hard drive / optical drive have jumper settings, not the motherboard. PATA has jumper settings, but SATA do not require any. The diagram of the setting is drawn on the hard disk itself below the serial number etc. For SATA, look on the motherboard for the SATA ports. Each port will be named as like SATA 0, SATA 1 etc. If you want the hardd disk to boot first, plug it in SATA 0. and the next device in SATA 1. However, you can also set the first and other boot device from the BIOS itself, in case of SATA.
How to connect your hard drive to your motherboard
The first thing you have to figure out is what type of hard drive you have, a PATA or a SATA drive.
PATA = Parallel ATA
This type of drive uses the older IDE connections. Most of your current motherboards still have aleast one IDE connection to support the ROM drives on the market that have not moved over to SATA connections but you can still connect a hard drive to this connection if needed. The thing to keep in mind is that you can only connect 2 IDE devices to one IDE connection on the motherboard.
Here is an example of an IDE cable. If you can see there are tabs on the cable to make sure you line up the pins properly.
SATA = Serial Advanced Technology Attachment
This type is now the standard that most hard drives are. Also note that alot of your ROM drives are switching over to this format as well.
Here is an example of a SATA cable.
In regards to power connectors If you are using a PATA drive then you will use the Molex power connector. Note some of the early SATA drives use this power connector as well.
For the SATA drives you would use the SATA power connector. Note if your power supply does not have this connection you can get an adapter that goes from a Molex connection to the SATA connector.
Next you will need to find the connectors for the hard drive on your motherboard. Below if pictures of the 2 connection types.
The problem is that XPinstallation CD does not have a SATA driver, unless you have a SATA drive on adisk etc. and can install the driver when XP asks for a hard drive driver then,XP cannot detect the hard disk and therefore won't install XP.
The FIX.
Go into the BIOS anddisable the SATA drive (enable IDE emulation), this will make XP think it is aIDE/PATA hard disk. Then you can install XP normally. When Windows hasbeen installed then install all the device drivers (including the SATA driver),then shut down and boot up and got into the BIOS and enable the SATA drive.
This model motherboard does not use IDE/PATA hard drives.

Intel D 925 has sata 1 controller , therefor your sata 2 or 3 drive can be malfuncton with this old controller , pls connect the jumper to sata 1 speed limit position in your hard drive near the data connector
Each PATA device (disk-drive or CD/DVD) drive has some small jumpers.
For the two devices connected via the one ribbon-cable,
set the jumpers on one device to the MA(ster) setting,
and set the other device to the SL(ave) setting.
Or, set both devices on the one cable to the C(able)S(elect) setting.
When properly set, both devices will be quickly and properly detected.
Be sure that your BIOS SETUP has been configured to allow SATA devices,
i.e., not set to "disabled" mode.
You're Intel motherboard does support up to 4 SATA hard disk drives including SATA CD-ROM / DVD-ROM drive, reader/writers. This MB also includes two serial ATA IDE ports. The most likely reason you're system is not booting is because all SATA ports are all seen as Master drives. By connecting the SATA DVD-ROM drive the bios auto configured the SATA ports. You'll need to enter the bios when you're system boots-up. Press the F2 key on you're keyboard right after hearing a single beep. You will than enter the bios main menu. Listed at the main menu are devices connect to the motherboard. (Instruction on how to move around in the bios is listed at the bottom of the screen). Mainly, the hard disk drive or (drives) and the SATA DVD writer. You'll need to open the Boot tab. Look for boot order. You want the boot order set like so; First boot device: [Floppy disk] drive; if one is connected. Second Boot device: [Primary Hard Disk] drive. (The drive with windows installed on it). (This drive may be ATA IDE or SATA; you did not provide that information). Third Boot device: [DVD-Rom] drive. Save and exit the bios. The system will auto restart. You're windows operating system should load correctly after the auto re-start. The SATA data cable and the SATA power cable should be checked for good connection. It only takes a little bump to make either loose. Here is the link to Intel for you're motherboard; http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&keyword=%22+D102GGC2+%22
Depends on how your formatting this sir.. The bios first would need to support large drive or LBA mode if it does you need to format this using NTFS file system or FAT 32...
Can you take the PATA out of the boot sequence all together?
No.
No.
There is no slave in Sata Hard Drive .Only my Pata have mster and slave.
