I just installed a new SATA drive and added it into my case while keeping the old PATA in so I could transfer data over. I installed Windows to the primary partition of the SATA and did my stuff and when I had all the data from the old drive transferred over I disconnected the ribbon and power cable to see if it will boot normally. It won't though. I get a "Disk Boot Error" message right after the POST screen. The weird thing is it boots fine. I've been rebooting a lot while setting up drivers and stuff. It's just when its the only drive hooked up that I get that issue. If I hook up the PATA drive too, I get two OS choices in the boot menu and I can boot to either my old or new.
Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can fix it? I don't want to have to be powering an unused hard drive and have it occupy drive letters for no reason.
