Re: 2 SATA drives and 1 IDE drive Not Recognized

OK, thanks for the suggestions. I used the SATA drivers, and now
Windows can see all 3 drives.

New problem: Before I posted here, I had tried installing Windows on
the SATA drive by removing the IDE drive. This worked fine. Now I want
to install Windows on the IDE drive, which was my original goal. But
when I go through Windows setup (using the SATA drivers) to install on
the IDE drive, as soon as the computer reboots, it automatically boots
into the SATA drive. Thus I cannot complete the Windows installation.

How can I boot into the IDE drive? How can I get Windows to finish the
installation on the IDE drive? Do I have to delete the Windows
installation on the SATA drive? Do I have to change the boot
configuration or the partition types?

Again, any help is appreciated.
