Hey everyone, I built my computer earlier this year and am using a SATA hard drive. Now, I decided to scrap my old computer and put in a 120 gig ATA hard drive I had in it for extra storage. Whenever I try to connect both at the same time, the computer either refuses to boot, or refuses to recognize one. They both work properly individually, but not together. Any ideas why? Information about my computer is in my signature. Thanks in advance.

Boot Sequence: Hard drive, DVD ROM, floppy.

Only the SATA hard drive has an OS on it. The other one I formatted, so it has nothing on it.

The SATA drive is set to master, but would it matter? It's the only SATA drive in the setup.

**-Just in case you were wondering, I tried setting the ATA drive's jumpers to slave and cable select already. Master too, none work.
