Hi, When I go to Computer Management my main (OS) drive shows as "Disk 1" and my 2nd internal data drive shows as "Disk 0". Should I switch the SATA cables so that the main drive will show as "Disk 0 and the 2nd internal drive as "Disk 1"? Or should I ignore this? Thanks.

Hello Antares,

As long as you are not having any issues booting to Windows, I wouldn't worry about it. It doesn't matter what the Disk number is. :)

Thanks Brink, I don't have any issues booting to Windows, that's why I asked if I should ignore this. The weird thing is that I made sure to connect the main drive to the correct SATA port in the motherboard (the first one) and the 2nd internal drive to the second one, and yet Windows will show the main drive as 1 and the data drive as 0. Other than boot, can this create any other issues?

It shouldn't be an issue at all. :)
