I just installed a storage drive and during the process of setting it up in windows I just kind of clicked on the default selections. Now it tries to boot to that drive instead of my OS drive. I poked around in the storage menu option but I can't seem to find what I need to change. I was able to boot by pulling the plug on the storage drive. Could someone point me in the right direction.

If its trying to boot the the one HD first, thats going to have to be a BIOS setting.. being bios's can vary so much I can't really say click here do this.. but there should be something like..
Boot Device Priority
1:

3:
Yours probably looks like
1) Drive1 HDD
2) Drive0 HDD
3) CD/DVD drive
Just flip flop drive 0/1 to be like:
1) Drive0 HDD
2) Drive1 HDD
3) CD/DVD drive
Thats at least what I would believe it would be.
Now if it was OS related, i.e. storage drive = vista and main drive = xp then you'll have to do that in MSconfig -
^^ What he said. It should be set to Drive0 or HDD0.

I looked through the BIOS earlier and all I saw was Hard disk as an option. It didn't seem to give me a choice of which one. I will poke around in there later when I get a chance. Would changing the SATA ports make a difference?[img]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4373/35734799443_53cb20ef13_z.jpg[/img]

Ahhh I read the text at the bottom of the screen at powere up and it gave me an option for a boot menu when I was able to select the correct drive. Now I can start copying my CD collection.

Any time, and about the sata ports - nope they dont matter, which is one of the benefits of Sata vs IDE (amongst the thousand other reasons)Originally posted by Duke{CLR} View PostAhhh I read the text at the bottom of the screen at powere up and it gave me an option for a boot menu when I was able to select the correct drive.

The first PC I built had a HDD with a jumper that was just enough experience to appreciate SATA. .Originally posted by Infamous View Post
