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?
 
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

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.
 
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 :(
