Installing SATA Hard Drive in an Old Motherboard

Problem:
Old computer motherboard does not have SATA slots and does not support SATA in the BIOS.

Solution:

1. Purchase a PCI Sata Card.

2. Don't put SATA card at this time, boot the PC into the BIOS settings screen. Run the Auto-Detection function for each installed IDE Hard Drive. Then set the detection to "Manual". Leave CD/DVD drives set to "Auto" if they cant be manually set to "CD ROM" (or similar)

3. Put SATA card, connect the SATA hardrive to the card. Power up, you must see on screen the drive you have been installed.

4. Download this utility from Seagate. DiscWizard will see the Seagate or Maxtor drive and allow it to be formatted. http://www.seagate.com/support/discwizard/DiscWizardSetup.en.exe

Try the driver/exe that's located in a folder labeled the same as the CHIP that is on the card. This may vary, but in this case it was SETUP.EXE in the "VT6421" folder. Then check the drivers in Control Panel; System. They may be shown as SCSI rather than SATA as old motherboards dont know what SATA is, and just guess it's SCSI hardware.

Reset Windows 7 Password

Problem: Forgot the Windows 7 logon password.

Solution:

Boot off the Windows disk and select the “Repair your computer” option from the lower left-hand corner.

Follow through until you get to the option to open the Command Prompt, which you’ll want to select.

First if you want to type in the following command to backup the original sticky keys file:
copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\

Then you’ll copy the command prompt executable (cmd.exe) over top of the sticky keys executable:
copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe

Now you can reboot the PC.

Once you get to the login screen, hit the Shift key 5 times, and you’ll see an administrator mode command prompt.

Now to reset the password—just type the following command, replacing the username and password with the combination you want:
net user YourUsername NewPassword

Now you can login.

Put the original sethc.exe file back, which you can do by rebooting into the installation CD, opening the command prompt, and copying the c:\sethc.exe file back to c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe.
