Hi all, I have a 500gb and 80gb sata and a 40gb IDE, When I have them all plugged in my 500gb HDD with Win7 won't boot, they all showing in the bios, Could it be that my desktop is getting confused from which to boot from or it doesn't like having three HDD's plugged?

Specs: Acer Aspire SA85
Ram: 1GB
Processor: Intel Celeron D 3ghz
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

yeah, probably confused. Go into bios and change the boot order to your 500gb drive, better yet take the others out of boot arrangement. If that doesn't help make sure your cd and 500gb are on sata 0/1 on your board, and the other 2 are on sata 2 and ide 0. If that STILL does not work, find some hard drive jumpers, and put them in the 2 other drives set as slave.
 
This should do what I want though, I will have a look though, Its a bit better pc than mine and I thought that could do it up a bit..
