      can you set the HDD to IDE mode in BIOS for boot, and let the W7 drivers change it over after they’re loaded?

      I’ve had to do that a couple of times.

      I would guess you need to change the HDD priority in the bios settings to make sure you are trying to boot from the HDD that has Win 7 loaded
