When u install the OS on this S-ata drive just disconnect the IDE hdd from the Pc. I don't now the specs of the computer ,but this will work for sure. Maybe u have storage in bios configuration as IDE legacy.Do no what bios u have,anyway...if u don't now how to setup and tweak the bios..just disconnect the IDE HDD do this fresh install on S-ata drive and then reconnect the second drive.
When comes to boot,if by some whatever motives is not booting from the S-ata drive,after u connect that IDE drive,then u must set the boot sequence from the bios.

I believe when you say "master" what you mean is that the OS has assigned the IDE as the "C" drive. This seems to happen every time I try to install a fresh OS with two HDDs installed. I learned the hard way to install an OS with only one HDD running and plug in the other later. As has been stated the term "master" & "slave" are no longer appropriate for SATA drives so set your IDE for "single". I've been running this same configuration for some time with no problems.
