How to boot from a new hard drive

[PCJake]

I just installed my new Velociraptor, and I cloned everything over to it from my old Raptor. Everything went fine, the new Velociraptor is drive "F". Now I want to boot from it instead of my old drive.

I can't figure out how to change the hard drive boot sequence. In my bios (GA-EP35-DS3L board), it has a "hard drive boot sequence" option (or something similar), but in it only the old Raptor is displayed, along with a "bootable card".

It's a simple question, I hope there's a simple answer!

Never mind, I just switched the SATA connectors around so the the VR was in the primary channel. It's working now.

Is the VR still the "F" drive or did swapping Sata ports change it to "C"?

The VR became drive "C", which is exactly what I wanted. Great performance increase, my old Raptor's max speeds are my new Velociraptor's minimum speeds!
