Hi I just upgraded a new computer

My specs are

AMD Athlon X2 3800+
ECS C51GM-M
160GB Hitachi HD SATA
1 GB DDR2-533

I have problems when booting. It seems that the computer has to boot from my old hard drive to work. I installed windows on the SATA drive but it doesnt boot. I've tried reinstalling it again on the SATA drive and it still doesnt work. So now i have a dual boot on 2 hard drives with windows xp. How can i get it to work without my old hard drive?
