I recently bought a Seagate 160GB SATA harddrive to replace my old IDE harddrives, but I still want to use one of my old IDE harddrives as a second HD. But my problem is when I connect the second harddrive it cause windows to load improperly or it doesnt detect the second harddrive at all. I also have it where it boots from SATA harddrive in the boot sequence and not the IDE harddrive. How do I fix this problem?

the 160 gig SATA is set in base mode
and is set as the first boot device actually SCSI is set as the first boot device IE sata drive

Is the jumper set to master on the IDE drive?
