    Guys -

    I'm kinda confused about something. I have a 320gb SATA2 internal drive but when I look in the BIOS it shows up as IDE. Is it suppose to be this way? See pic.

    Thanks,

    It's not showing as an IDE drive. That's your controller, and that's the way they are shown in the BIOS and in Device Manager. It's normal.
