NEED HELP URGENTLY, SATA+IDE boot related

hi guys..

I am LOSING my mind..

I have 2 SATA drives, SATA1 is a 74gig raptor which contains XP and i boot from, SATA2 is a 200gig storage device, and I just bought a 200GB Seagate Barracuda IDE drive today..

I hooked up the IDE drive to IDE interface 2 as Master, and have tried EVERY combonation of jumper settings possible, and in my BIOS i have it under HARD DISK BOOT PRIORITY to "Bootable Add In Card" which is defined as ON CHIP SATA, yet no matter WHAT I do when after it does the Device Scan (Which only shows the 2 SERIAL CHANNEL DEVICES by the way)

it comes up with

DISK BOOT ERROR, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

this is pissing me off so badly.. i'm getting severely stressed out
I absolutely CANNOT get it to boot my SATA, and I even tried diabling the IDE2 interface and it STILL gives me the boot disk error

PLEASE HELP ME

ive got an abit av8 motherboard and an amd64 3500+ socket939 with 1 gig of OCZ platinum dual channel ram
 
to get it to boot back how it was, can you disconnect new IDE HDD, then go into BIOS and reverse any changes you made?
 
Turn on the Machine and go into Bios

1. Goto Integrated Peripherals Page, Then On Chip IDE device, Make sure SATA Raid Rom is Disabled
2. Save and Exit
3. upon reboot, go back into bios.
4. Now go to Advanced Bios Features, Hard Disk Boot Priority - Under this there should now be all 3 of your drives the 74G raptor, the 200G sata, and the 200G IDE. Set the Raptor (Sata1) to 1st.
5. Bootable add in device can be whatever doesn't matter
6. 1st boot device = Floppy, 2nd Boot = CDROM, 3rd Boot = Hard Disk, Boot other device = disabled.
7. Save and exit

8. Be happy because I think it will work 🙂
