I have got a pc where the primary boot partition is IDE and it is connected to the main board. I have also got a PCI Sata card with 2 hard drive. I dont want to use the IDE hard drive and want to use only the SAta hard drives. So, I used the ghost software to copy the boot partition to the first Sata disk and then unplugged the IDE drive and rebooted the pc. After the welcome screen the computer seems to have hanged. So, I think that it could be a driver issue although it did start to load the operating system. After that I then tried to use the recovery tool from the XP setup CD but the CD boot failed recognizing the Sata.
