I am having a problem I hope someone can help me with.
I am trying to install windows on a SATA hard drive while keeping my old IDE hard drive as storage.
my sys specs are:
MSI K8N Neo4 fx motherboard
st3160827as barracuda 7200.7 hard drive
some old seagate IDE 32 gb hard drive
WinXP Home SP1
I have 2 IDE connectors
For some reason, THe computer always boots the IDE HD before the SATA. I have set the boot order priority to the SATA before the IDE.
on windows setup it attempts to install the windows onto the SATA D: but the boot is installed onto the IDE C:
THe only way I can install the boot onto the SATA drive is if I set the boot priority of the HD before the CDROM. When i do this everything runs smoothly and the SATA is labelled C: and the IDE HD is F:
but once i set the boot priority to CDROM before HD, the IDE HD boots before the SATA again and i get the NTLDR is missing error because the boot is not located on the IDE hd.
How do i fix this?
thank
