The only problem I see with using an SATA drive with a PATA drive as slave is that many of the MBs out there do NOT support SATA drive booting. I learned this the hard way a little while back. "Boot Disk Failure" can mean several things. Check your bios settings and make sure that you have the options set up to look for your CD drive first (In case of a system failure, you can select this option to assist in recovery of a failed drive) and ALSO make sure that you have the option selected for "Look for other boot devices" or something of that nature. I am willing to bet that your Bios is set to look for the CD drive first, and not set up to check for other boot devices, so it never looks for your "c" drive. Good luck!
