New PC build, new SATA drive with Win XP Home SP2.
Just added an IDE drive from an older PC and Disk Management is showing
as disk 0 and the first partition of this as a logical drive and
*active* (there is no system or data on it).
The SATA drive with the system loaded is now shown as disk 1 (was disk
0) and the C partition as healthy (system).
This system is booting OK, although pausing for confirmation of the IDE
disk for some reason, but I would have thought the C partition on the
SATA drive should be the active one but I cannot find a way of
'inactivating' the current active partition.
Grateful for any advice.

Hi,
What happen if you Right click " My Computer" and select Manage.
On The Computer Management expand the Storage and select " Disk Management".
On there Make sure the C:\Partition selected and click on the Setting icon
on the Toolbar at the top, there you will see two tabs:
Appearance | Scaling
Click on Appearance and change the settings to be Primary partition.
The same with the Other IDE and you can assign a Drive Letter for it and set
it to Secondary Partition.
HTH.
