OK, I think we all missed an important detail. If your boot drive (the one w/ your OS) is IDIE, you can not make your machine recognize a second drive if it is SATA. You gotta have another IDIE. Or at least this is what I was led to believe after a long adventure of installing, updating, screwing with BIOS, researching, calling friends, de-installing, driving all over the place, returning, buying another drive and eventually PAYING somebody just to make the &*$%#! work.

Fucking A. No matter how prepared I think I am, I always get my ass kicked by something like this.

Thanks for the effort. Before today, I didn't even know IDIE from KFC. Now I know.
