I was not the one who connected the hard disks to the motherboard, but instead the vendor of it. However, I suppose that the disks are directly connected to the motherboard. Anyway, I can boot in those IDE hard disks, with no problem. My question was motivated by the fact that, at the boot time, I always get as a result of an IDE scan: Drive 3: Not detected Drive 4: Not detected After all, in practice, I do not see any serious consequence.

There is nothing wrong with your system or BIOS. Your hard and CD/DVD drives are connected to IDE ports. The BIOS is reporting the two SATA ports have no drives attached. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
