I bought a new sata hdd today and hooked it into my shuttle that was fine i set windows up as normal and now when i hook an ide hdd up it take priority over my sata, and its just a storage drive, i changed it in the bios to use the sata as priority but it still tries to boot from the ide, both are set as master but that doesnt matter ive tried them both in slave and still dont change nothing
but if i go to the boot menu at startup and select the sata from there it loads into windows. can anyone help?
 
check again in bios

in the boot options, check to see if SATA is an option (instead of just HDD0 or HDD1), also check if there's a hard drive boot priority option

pressing F10 to save and exit is usually the option in the bios
 
its just got:

IDE Channel 0 Master: ST3200822a
IDE Channel 0 Slave:
IDE Channel 1 Master: Liteon DVDRW
IDE Channel 1 Slave:
IDE Channel 2 Master(sata): SAMSUNG SP2504C
IDE Channel 2 Slave(sata):

and my boot priority is set to:

1. ch2 M. :SAMSUNG SP2504C
2. ch0 M. :ST3200822A
3. Bootable Add-in Cards

The samsung is my sata drive, done that and still wont boot from it, it still tries to boot via IDE and then says insert correct disc like but if i go to the boot menu at startup and selevt the sata drive windows will boot fine.

Bios: Phoenix - AwardBIOS
Shuttle SN456 v3

if you unplug the IDE drive, does it boot up fine?

-also (although it shouldn't affect it in your setup) is there a 'bootable addin card' menu you can go into?
 
yes it does, boots fine, so its obviously a setting im missing but i cant figure where and im pulling whats left of my hair out, lol.

"3. Bootable Add-in Cards" is there as a priority but not a menu. Cant seem to find an addin cards menu.
 
is there anything in the 'integrated peripherals' that gives you ide/sata options?

the last shuttle i set up had some kind of ide emulation i think (which fooled the pc into using sata through and ide channel) so you didn't need a sata driver for installing windows

if you can't get it working, perhaps try resetting the bios using 'load defaults' and see if it boots ok then
 
Possibly a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but you could install GRUB on the IDE drive, with an instant timeout option to boot the SATA drive?

Or would it be better to transfer all my data from the ide hdd to my sata and run windows from my ide hdd then and use the sata as a storage drive? defeats the purpose like but theres nothing else much i can do :(
