I have an A7N8XE-dlx board that currently has a SATA drive as the main
C: drive. I recently bought a larger IDE drive that I want to use as
the C: Drive.

I imaged the drive over and it works perfectly. However, I want to
keep the SATA drive installed for now but every time I connect it, it
tries to boot from the SATA drive instead of the IDE.

In other bios I have seen adjustable boot order.

Any ideas?

thx

It should be an option in the BIOS somewhere.
Don't always trust the manual. Look in the BIOS
at every option.

Boot order is there.

In the newest BIOS SATA is shown as SATA, in older ones, it's shown as SCSI.

You could also try making the partition you do not want to boot "not
active" that *should* stop it from booting.
