How to Boot a Hard Drive From an IDE Controller Card:



Older motherboards usually have two IDE controller ports, each allowing two devices to be attached to two-connector ribbons. One port is typically used for hard drives, the other for optical drives such as a CD or DVD drive. If you need additional IDE ports or if the motherboard IDE ports are faulty, you can install an IDE controller card, which will give you one or more IDE ports you can use to connect your hard drive. The IDE controller card functions just like an IDE port on the motherboard, including the ability to boot your computer from a drive connected to the card.

• Install the IDE controller card, if you have not already done so. Open your computer case and look for an open slot of the type your card uses. Securely push the card into the slot and secure it to the chassis with a screw on the top brace. The card should be recognized by the motherboard without needing to boot into Windows.
• Consult the product documentation or the label affixed to the controller card for appropriate jumper settings. Jumpers are small plastic sleeves that fit over two of the pins on the back of the drive. Jumpers tell the controller card whether the drive is the only drive on the system, the primary "master" drive or the secondary "slave" drive. Set the jumper as instructed for your purposes. Since this will be a boot drive, it should be set as "master."
• Connect the IDE ribbon from the controller card to the hard drive. It will only fit one way. In addition, you'll need to connect a power cable (usually a 4-pin Molex connector) to the hard drive.
• Boot the computer and repeatedly press the "F2" key or whatever key sequence your motherboard manual states will allow you to access the BIOS setup menu. Once you reach this menu, use your arrow keys to navigate until you find the "Boot Sequence" options. The controller card should already be recognized, but it may appear as a "SCSI" device. Reorder the boot sequence so that the CD or DVD drive is first, followed by the controller card and then your regular IDE hard drive.
• Reboot the system, which should now boot from the drive connected to the controller card, assuming your CD/DVD drive does not contain a bootable disc. If you do not have a bootable operating system on the drive connected to the controller card, then the system will boot from the regular drive. To make the controller drive bootable, simply install the Windows operating system on the drive attached to the controller as you would any other hard drive
