My system is currently set with 2 sata drives and one IDE drive.
I am booting from the SATA drive that replaced the IDE drive.
I want to just yank the IDE drive out for it is no longer needed but there is
a problem when I do that. My System will not boot after I remove the ide drive.
Ive tried removing IDE boot options from the BIOS but it doesnt help.
the IDE drive has some dumped stuff on it and is clear of any system files.
The SATA drives are connected to an PCI controller not to the board directly.
Could this be why i need to use an IDE device to boot
How can I get the system to boot from the SATA without having to have an IDE drive
connected.
