I've built my own system like a year ago and every time it boots up i have to press F1 so it starts booting the windows! what do i need to do so that my computer will boot automatically without me pressing F1 all the time???

anyone knows please help?

Edit your boot.ini file so that it automatically boots into windows

so if I had my Primary Hard Drive using SATA and I want to install 1 IDE hard drive with nothing else using the IDE cable, do I still install the IDE hard drive in the MASTER even though it's a storage hard drive?

[dethklok1989]

where do you put the pin when your installing a second hard drive??

[sirbpure]

u put the pin on slave as long as u have the other 1 on master

[lolzord111]

Yeah whats whit the pin ? I thought you just need to connect it to the master/slave cable, power etc. and its done, since i don't have that pin i dunno what to do :( is that pin really necesarry ?

[zeldajunkielol2]

you just need that little stud? wow I thought the middle one was for a link type cable.probably because I play too much gameboy/gba.

Oh, now come on.. was he so pressed for time he couldn't do a re-take when he messed up right at the beginning?

And what? The "green PVC or chips?" You're supposed to be studying electrical engineering for feck's sake!

But for his credit, he did explain jumpers decently. Except I know for a fact that not all hard drives have the key on the PCB (or PVC?), that's how you confuse people.
