Need Reformatting Help

[Playmaker]

I'm trying to reformat a computer for someone and I'm running into a problem. The mobo is an i865 with an Award BIOS and it has 2 HDDs. The master on IDE3 has the OS and the master on IDE1 is a storage hard drive. I reformatted, installed the OS on the HDD on IDE3, it loaded into windows, I installed the wireless USB card driver, restarted, and that is where I ran into problems. When the computer tries to boot now, it says something to the effect of "Boot Disk Error, Insert A System Disk and Press Enter" and I can hear the floppy drive seek. I didn't use the floppy drive for any of the reformatting/installation. I tried disabling the non-OS hard drive, I double checked to make sure the OS hard drive was booting first, and I even tried disabling the floppy drive, but I still get the error.

I had this problem the last time I reformatted, but don't remember how I got around it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

I just thought of something else that might be relevant. The OS HDD is the 36gb WD SATA drive and the non-OS is a regular WD 80GD IDE.

Have you checked that the jumpers are correctly set on your drives?

You need to disconnect the IDE drive while you are installing windows on the SATA drive. Otherwise it will put the boot loader on the IDE hard drive instead of the raptor and windows won't load.
