the sata is not master/slave so you need to have the ide as master.

sata does not have master or slave.

one ide drive must be the master, then if you add another ide drive it would be the slave.

Marsey99 is correct.

Puffy_1 connect sata drive to mother board, set the IDE back to a master since it is on a different controller. No need for a slave. If you have made the sata drive the drive that has the OS on, then you have to make sure that in BIO setup that you have it set as the primary boot disk. Look to you motherboard instruction to set.
