OK, sorry it's been a bit, I'll try to answer them all....
Dilbert: I used the software that came with the harddrive, it makes a perfect "image" of the original drive, and also sets up the partitions, formats, and sets the drive as bootable.
Dragon: The bios doesn't even list the drive under the selection for "bootable devices" It shows the floppy, and the CD drive, as well as the original ATA drive, but no SATA drive selection is even showing up as an OPTION in the BIOS.
Cyrnel: I don't see the use in editing the boot.ini file if the BIOS doesnt even TRY to look at the SATA drive for booting.
Zed: the drive isn't a SCSI, it is an SATA and I have verified the BIOS has the latest flash update.
So far still no change. The BIOS absolutely refuses to let me select the SATA drive, even though it RECOGNIZES it as a device attatched to the MB.
