If you're going to delete the entries right click on Mounted Devices and click Export in the popup menu.
Give it a name and save it to a place easy to get at in the event you may need to import it back into the registry.
Delete everything except the default value in the right pane and close out.
Reboot with only the one device connected and it will be re-enumerated.
If all went well connect the next device, boot up and it will be re-enumerated.
As mentioned before, if it still reverts back to booting to the original device, you will have to remove it's Active bit before connecting it once the new device is booting as the boot device.

Here is what is in my registry currently.
Are most of the \??\ devices junk?

I tried the recommended switches -fni (disables direct IDE access support for IDE hard disk operations - same as the -noide switch), -fns (disables direct ASPI/SCSI access support for SCSI hard disk operations - same as the -noscsi switch), -fnx (disables extended Int13 support for hard disks) in combos and alone without success. What I finally wound up having to do was:
Boot the original PATA drive.
Enter the registry.
Delete all of the entries except for the default in the right pane at:
hkey_local_machine\system\mounted devices
Shutdown.
Remove the PATA and connect the SATA.
Reboot.
Shutdown.
Connect the PATA and boot to disk maintanence w/BING boot disk.
Remove the Active bit from the PATA and reboot.
As I mentioned, the disk involved were a PATA and SATA unlike your setup. It would be your own choice if you decided to try it.
I'm not sure if this would help or have any ramifications, yet another thing to try would be booting to the Recovery Console and running fixmbr and/or fixboot.
