Seems my new system dosn't want to boot from the SATA drive, If I have an IDE installed(With windows vista) I can select the sata drive, but I have to have the ide in, orther wise it wants me to boot from the CD drive(Secondary boot device). I have read the manual that came with it, but can't make much sense of it, I also have the SATA set up as an IDE(can you do that?) In the BIOS. Im all out of ideas on how do fix this,

So do you have any?
