There are four hard drives in my computer.

I enter BIOS - Advanced - SATA configuration which only shows the option of switching between IDE and AHCI.

Where should I look to TEMPORARILY disable the three other hard drives Or is there any other solution.

As for disabling in the BIOS, you should be able to disable each individual port (ie: SATA0, SATA1, SATA2, etc.).

There is only the ahciide option and it refuses to select anything below that.

That will tell them which drive is the boot drive (unless theyre in a raid configuration).

Then with both drives connected transfer anything you want to keep from the boot drive to the second drive before you disconnect the second drive to load windows on the boot drive.

It might also be a good idea to do this off line and rescan the second drive for viruses in Safe Mode after connecting it back before booting into Windows or going online.

You might be able to do that by copying a malware installer to the second drive so you can install it from there in Safe Mode since the new install will not have any programs on it yet.
