Simply switch SATA cable connectors on motherboard or between disks. It may be that the other one has priority.
If that does not help you'll need to explain before disks and after disks little more detailed.

Have you set jumpers on PATA HDD? You should set it properly. The one that boots is Master and the one that does not is Slave so you need your Windows drive to be Master.
