Sounds like a Controller configuration issue with BIOS. Most newer
Motherboards that have embedded SATA/Traditional IDE controllers
have enabling functions. Usually, they are called Legacy (PATA) and
Enhanced for the SATA controller. It's possible when you toggle the
bootable device that the other controller is being automatically disabled.
Also make sure that in Device Manager that the PATA controllers do
not have their M/S Taps set to None.

I have read about SATA here but it didnt helped me.

I have several ATA and one SATA and I want to boot on SATA.

It works, my PC boots both on SATA and IDE but if I boot from SATA I have
no
IDE disks. They exist, I have uninstalled them and reinstalled. (driver)
No matter what I do because Windows cant se them and they have no drive
letters.

The Windows installation (boot) is totally separate on 3 disks.
SATA is C:. ...... at least Windows set it to be C: as it is the boot
disk.

I choose bootdisk at start up in setup (CMOS) not from any menu.

Uninstall and reinstall driver I think it must be the same as adding the
ATA
after booting on SATA.

No problems with cardreaders, DVD och USB-HD. its 8 of these disks.

All bootdisks is originally C: as I have no other ATA/SATA installed while
installing XP.

ATA boot disks are one master and one slave.

New PC with very fresh BIOS.
