    Ok so I just build a new PC. I am running an ASUS P5n32-SLI board. I have 2 SATA drive in RAID Striping. I need t get one IDE hard drive hooked up for storage. It has all of my customer work files etc. It was my secondary drive before. Everytime I hook it up, the Bios immediatley tries to boot off the IDE drive and ignores sata drives in the boot order. How can I get this IDE drive installed? Please someone help me!

    check in the bios to make certain that sata boots before ide in the boot sequence.
