Hello Everyone,
I installed my new SATA hard drive today. Now I have my old IDE and the new SATA. After creating a partition and formatting the new drive, I ran MagicDisc from my old hard drive and installed Windows 7 on the new hard drive (I tried cloning, but it was going to take a day, and I don't have much that needed to transfer over).
Now whenever I turn my computer on, it asks me which Windows 7 I want to choose. The first option is the one on my new SATA and the second option is the one on my IDE.
How can I change my BIOS settings to make the SATA boot first, and then ultimately use my IDE hard drive as extra storage? I pressed F12 and went to the boot menu, and when I chose the Primary SATA to boot, it asked me to retry or choose something else. Then it took me back to the screen where I get to choose which Windows 7 installation to open.
