John, you may have a setting in the Bios for that Maxtor Card. In there
will give you the ability to select the boot disk.
How did you copy the old drive to the new? Did you image it or clone it?

I bought a Western Digital 160GB Caviar SE EIDE Drive. My motherboard is
older so I was instructed to add a Maxtor SATO/150 PCI Card so the full
capacity of the HDD would be detected. I connected it and copied the old
drive over to it. After completion I was instructed to disconnect the old
and put the new in it's place. Upon restart it ask for a boot disk to be
installed. When I bought the system it had Windows ME on it and I do not
have a software disk but I was given a restore disk. I later upgraded to
Windows XP w/ SP2. Can I use the restore disk or the Windows XP upgrade
disk
as the boot disc. The support from Western Digital states that it may
need
to be done and some not, so I am confused as to how to make this as quick
and
painless as posible. I also would like to know if disabling the the
primary
IDE off the motherboard in the CMOS would help too.
