What are the prosiejers to install a hard drive besides the computers motherboard
Master and Slave configuration is necessary for motherboard in order to choose right disk to boot from.
You may be able to update the bios or install a driver from the drive manufacturers website.
You need to install a sound card driver which you can find on the motherboard/computer manufacture website.
# Let BIOS see the drive as a smaller drive, Upgrade the BIOS, Replace the motherboard, Use software that interfaces between the older BIOS and the newer drive, Use an ATA controller card to provide the ATA connector and firmware to substitute for motherboard BIOS
The hard drive is not located on the motherboard.
To start, the hard drive cable connects your hard drive to your motherboard. Its really simple.
You can't. The motherboard is the physical part of the PC to which all other components are attached. Windows 7 is an Operating System. To install it simply insert the DVD(?) in the DVD-ROM/RW/R drive.
There is no "registry" on a motherboard. The Windows Registry is stored on the hard drive.
Usually after. Install the basic or minimum components first: motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard-drive and optical drive. If the motherboard does not have built-in graphics (most do these days) install a graphics card. Plug in the monitor, keyboard and mouse. Unplug all other USB/FireWire devices. Start the system and set the BIOS/CMOS settings accordingly. Then install the OS. With the OS installed, install the motherboard drivers (chipset, RAID, audio, ethernet, etc). Then install the expansion cards one at a time. Test each new component before moving to the next. Finally, install printer drivers and any other removable hardware (USB/FireWire devices). With the hardware sorted, you can begin installing software programs.

They are the cables that connect your hard drive or cd/dvd drive to the motherboard.
Yes, the motherboard does determine what hard drive can be installed. A computer is made for the hard drive to be compatible with whatever mother board is installed.
