I can't seem to change order of drives.

I have a raptor 74gb SATA drive I have been booting with. I would like to add an IDE drive I had sitting around. When I hooked up the IDE drive it booted from it (it had windows installed on it a long time ago.

How can I make it so that when I boot it loads from the faster raptor drive? I know about primary/slave with IDE cables but Id on't know how to work SATA in to the picture.

There should be a way to specify the SATA drive as boot from the controller. Also, you can use fdisk to remove a disk boot option on an IDE drive.

So if the controller is built into the motherboard it would be under bios?

I believe so. (Don't know for sure--don't have that kinda newfangled stuff myself)

Isn't there a jumper also you can set on the back of the hard drive to designate it the slave?
