How to enable SATA-II and SLI on NForce4

ferewuz · Oct 24, 2008

Hi!
I am new to any changes on hardware, but i bought a SATAII hard disc and my motherboard Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 doesn't support SATAII and disc doesn't have any jumper so i have to try to enable it.
But I don't know where to seek for this place with nvidia picture so i ask you for some help about this
Here is a picture:

Or is this on the other side of motherboard

I really need to solve this out or my brand new WD500GB is useless

see that gold hs next to end of ram slots? take that off an all will be revealed.
you need to get to back of mobo to unclip the mounts.

I also have a GA-K8NF-9 rev1.x and managed to do the Mod succesfuly

(Thank you W1zzard & S3phy !!!)
Only problem is that bios can't detect the SATA II hdd if i have an IDE hdd atached..
Does anyone knows a solution to this? (except the obvious removel of the IDE hdd..)

Thanks in advance!
