Windows won't boot with PATA drive connected

[Diademed]

Okay... so I can boot fine without my WD PATA drive's power connected,
but when connect it, it says: NTDLR missing, (press ctrl alt del to restart)

Well no kidding. It's trying to boot from the PATA instead of my SATARAID array, and, you PoS OS THE PATA DRIVE DOESN'T HAVE AN OS INSTALLED.

Sad

Soo... How to get windows to boot from SATA, where XP is installed?

I've tried changing the HDD-0-1-2-3 order, to no degree of success.

I have the ASUS A7N8X Deluxe....

Help?

boot to the recovery console on the xp cd and type "fixboot"

the bios trick SHOULD work, i dunno why it isnt

Try setting the boot order to have SCSI listed before any of the HDD entries in the boot order. Some motherboards use SCSI to designate the onboard RAID controller in the boot order. If that doesn't work, try taking all of the HDD entries out, and set the "boot off other devices" option in the boot options menu in the BIOS setup. That should keep it from trying to boot off the PATA controller.
