Re: IDE fried, SATA will not boot

The SATA drive was working with the IDE drive installed, so it should
keep working even if the IDE drive has died.

Why didn't you try disconnecting the IDE drive to answer your own
question?

If that doesn't work, if you have another PC running XP, try creating a
BartPE boot CD and then try booting the system with only the SATA drive
installed.
