You need to go into the bios by pressing the "delete" key when the computer starts to bootup. When you are in the bios, you need to choose which sata port to boot from first.
Usually in the first bios screen it will show you which sata port has which hard drive.

in the bios by pressing f1, f2 or del, goto the boot sequence & select hard drives. in there select the drive you want to boot 1st & press enter(i think). press esc key then press f10 to save & reboot.
