I'm having a weird problem with the harddrives of this computer.
From what I've been able to figure out is:
If I have the SATA harddrive connected the motherboard reads it just fine.
If I have the SATA and IDE harddrive connected the motherboard reads both of them but the Preinstalled Windows XP SP3 on the IDE harddrive will bluescreen, unless I manually load it via "F12 Boot options and manually load it in safe mode"
But heres where the weird part happens, if I run the SATA harddrive with the CD ROM drive(Non sata) the computer reads the CD ROM just fine. If I run it with the IDE Harddrive then it will give me a boot error of "DISK BOOT ERROR PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" so when I insert my Windows XP disk it doesn't get read "I've already tested the disk on 2 other computers and it works fine".
So any help would be much obliged.
System info::
GIGABYTE GA-M61PME-S2 AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 / nForce 430 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+
