I just built a new system. installed its fine works great grand super.

With it I bought my first sata hd partitioned and made the first part my windows drive. With this im still using an IDE HD since im a gamer with alot of space taken up. The IDE HD is listed as first to boot of the two and when I changed the sata to boot first windows fails to run acting as if files are missing. If i revert the setting so the sata is 2nd to boot then its fine. I also had to grab some old files on other IDE HDs and doing so pissed the SATA drive off again. the Mother board is an Asus A8N-E is that helps.

It runs fine it just annoys me that sata isnt listed as the first HD to boot and the fact that adding in any other IDE drives causes more issues really freaks me out. Any tips or hints? Thanks for any of you that have adivce to offer.
