See, I asked them about that, having the disk I am installing on higher on the disk priority list in BIOS, and he said that it didn't matter, because it would look until it saw what it needed by elimination.

I am going to take it apart again, make suire the jumpers are right, and only hook up the master IDE, install Windows, hook the others up, and then reinstall the Vista bootloader with EasyBCD. I just hope it doesn't screw up again, I am sick of installing Windows :P
