Hi I have suffered with Event 51 errors for the past few months and after my 250gb hard drive decided to cause nothing but lockups I decided to purchased a Promise Sata300 TX2 card to run my hard drive's from insted of using the onboard sata connections as I believe this will fix my errors.

I have got the 250gb drive on this card, but I cannot find a way to add my 80gb windows drive to this card and boot from it, I have since started to receive event 51 errors on my 80gb drive which previously had never been a problem:

The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\D

Any advice on booting windows from a controller card would be appricated, I currently do not have a floppy disk drive in my pc.
 
To boot from the controller card you may have to enable pci devices to boot before the HD. Does the controller card have a BIOS or does is port 1 the drive that it tries first for example?
