I'm trying to add a standard HDD to a system with a SATA drive as the main boot device (C:\)... my problem is that when I connect the standard HDD, the PC must be trying to boot from it, bwecause I jjust fail on boot with a "Boot Drive Failure" message.

I've tried going into the BIOS for the ABIT AV8, and changing the boot priority to:

1st: Floppy
2nd: CD ROM
3rd: NONE (this USED to say "Hard Drive", but since my "Add in card" controller was listed even above the 1ts Priority Floppy drive I figued that disdabling boot from Hard Drive would do the trick. Alas, it did not.

If anyone uses this mobo and has this configuration working PLEASE let me know, OK? I've gotten lots of helpful tips like "Set the SATA/RAID device higher in the boot priority than the IDE HDD", but I cannot see exactly how to accomplish this in the AV8 BIOS.

Thanks!!
