Making IDE or SATA Primary drive

[Dan G]

Hi! In my PC I have a main SATA drive with XP on it, an IDE CD Drive and just recently an empty IDE HDD.

I want to install Vista BETA2 onto the IDE HDD, but it has to be a primary drive to work. Its on my mobo's (LanParty NF3) Second IDE Channel as a Master, the CDROM Drive is on the First IDE Channel, also as a master.

How can I get my IDE HDD as the primary? Switch cables with the CDROM drive, or would the SATA be my primary?

Please enlighten! Daniel

Thanks Squiffy,and Kazatan!

I shall give it a go when I get the chance, and fear not, all data was backed up before I even started to fiddle!

Thanks again!
