[RESOLVED] Hard Drive Problems
Posted: 2011/11/03 21:24:41
Hi,
I've recently replaced the motherboard on my computer and for some reason when installing CentOS it now shows the drive as hda instead of sda. Before replacing the motherboard (it was faulty) it showed up as sda. This wouldn't really be a problem but as the drive shows as hda the transfer speeds are also very low and CentOS installation takes nearly 2 hours!
Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix this? I have checked the motherboard BIOS and there aren't any setting to change the hard drive to legacy mode (IDE) etc. The motherboard does support SATA II so it's very confusing :-(
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-G41MT-D3V
Hard Drive: 1TB Samsung HD103SJ SpinPoint F3 SATA-II
