I have a dual boot config. I have an IDE as my main boot drive with XP, and I have a SATA drive with XP64. I also have a second SATA for docs. These SATAs are on channels 2&3 since I didn't know 0 and 1 existed until recently.

I now just tried to add a new SATA to channel 0 or 1 (don't know which). My dual boot menu comes up, but when I try to enter Winx64 it tells me there is a hardware config error.

If I unplug the new SATA, then no problem. I assume it doesn't know how to find the x64 disk when the new drive is plugged in. Do I just need to swap the cables for the new SATA (on 0 and 1) and the booting SATA? Or is there some way to configure this in the BIOS without doing that? or something else altogether?
 
Try swapping the cables. The dual boot stuff is preffty specific, and at least I think my bios boots IDE then SATA in acending order. Sorry I do nto ahve anything more specific
