I installed a SATA PCI Express card & applicable drivers…in a Lenovo Thinkcentre running Windows XP.I can see the card in Windows and all is good & working.… when I disconnect the one & only internal hard and connect it to the PCI Express card… upon restart, no bootable devices can be found. I thought there was a way of over-riding the BIOS to point to the SATA PCI Express card now hooked to my hard drive but can’t seem to find out how. Or a way of making the Express card Bootable ??? Any help would be appreciated… Thanks in Advance. Pat

When you power it down and move the drive to the add on card boot to bios and see if the drive shows. It may or may not, hopefully it shows under hard drive choice. Also having an option to boot from choices may help. Even a pci-express boot option may have to be selected. I suspect that the boot order needs to be edited each time you swap between internal and pci-e.
I doubt all of this will speed up your system.
