first if you have a sam drive get iprep to build your boot disc

xbc is for making backups

i ment xtreme boot maker.... not XBC. not that clueless. i have sata connectors on my MB but i cannot find out what brand.

i would still change to iprep.
i had a hard time with my on board sata so i went with this

i've read it..... still no answers to my question. i've tried to find the drivers to the sata chip set i have but no luck. even MSI doesn't have them for download. i just might as well buy the VIA PCI sata. god this is making me seem soo damn stupid with the computer knowledge i have...... this boggles me.
