How to get my sata as a boot drive?

[Camalot]

Hi all.

Been on my IDE hard drive for ages now. I plugged in sata hard drive, pressed F6 and used the sata drivers from a floppy drive and loaded sata raid drivers for xp. I seen my old ide and new sata one in the winxp install screen so selected to install on new one...It installed very fast (7mins) but when i reboot, it asks me which win xp i want to load.

Thing is, when i load the xp that my sata is installed to. My sata drive is not drive C....so its not the boot drive, its like its a slave or something?

If i take my IDE drive out and leave the sata one in, windows wont boot, says something like i need to insert a bootable media. In BIOS it says theres no sata drive detected on Sata1 , which is the port i plugged into.

What have i messed up? In win xp install screen it did lable my sata drive as "ide2"

Help !

You see, its strange.

If i take out my IDE drive, windows doesnt recognise my sata drive ?

You might need to load the SATA drivers from a floppy then. Ive never had to, but certain motherboards require it.

I put the floppy disk in, i had 3 options, the xp one said sata raid drivers, so thats what i used.

My mobo is the ASrock Duel Sata board.
