Glad it worked .
Hmm that’s weird because it says IDE1 on the port. What is a HPT-366 controller for? I have a dual cpu socket 370 motherboard unlike the Asus one i had before this has support for less ram, 4 ide ports and an ISA port.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/816/8It provides extra IDE ports, in this case faster ATA100 ones compared to the VIA ATA66 ones .
According to the manual, the 2 HPT366 controlled IDE ports are the blue ones on the photo (black on some board revision) by the RAM slots . The manual says they should be labelled 3 and 4 . They might be labelled differently on your board (would not be the first time a manual is not 100% accurate).
Oh ok my hard drive is connected to the black and white port. Since i built a multiboot system. I wanted to know how to select what i want to boot into. After playing around with the settings again nothing boots up. I’m stuck on bios. Where as with my Asus board i was able to select what to boot into.
