IDE/SATA drive mix can't set boot drive
I have a seagate 120GB IDE drive and a WD 250GB SATA drive. I want to
boot from the SATA drive, but the system keeps trying to boot from the IDE drive. Looking at the BIOS, it says the SATA drive is "IDE 4" (but it is plugged into the SATA 1 connection) and the IDE drive is "IDE 0". The BIOS won't let me switch the boot priority on the hard drives. How do I get my system to boot from the SATA drive? I need the IDE drive in the system as it has data that I need to transfer to the SATA drive (the IDE drive is going bad and I need to get the data off of it before it completely dies). Thanks
