I have just bought a new 500GB SATAII drive. I currently have an 80GB IDE drive as the master and a 160GB IDE drive as the slave. When i fitted my SATA drive i think it tried to boot of the SATA drive and wouldnt load windows xp. Ive looked at the BIOS settings but im not a whizz with this. Just wondering if there's any way for the SATA HD to be a slave to my IDE HD....

much appreciated
