A8N32-SLI Premium - why does my removable disk tray show as drive 0 ?

I have three 500GB SATA II drives, two internal and one in a removable
tray (as you may have seen described in another recent post). When the
removable drive is mounted it shows as disk 0 in Disk Manager (XP Pro
SP2), When it is removed the main boot drive moves into "Disk 0"
position. Makes no sense as I have that removable tray plugged into
SATA 4 connector on the mobo. Any idea why the mobo and/or OS insists
on showing the (in my opinion) wrong drive as Disk 0 ? On occassion
(not every time, don''t understand the pattern) when the removable tray
was not loaded, when booting, right after POST I get
No OS found.
If I press Enter, it usually finds it anyway and continues, but a few
times I have had to boot with my Acronis Disk Director CD and boot from
that. As long as that removable tray is loaded, this doesn't happen.
Seems the boot drive (plugged into SATA 1), should show as Disk 0.
Maybe the numbering of those SATA connectors is for convenience only
and don't signify any sort of drive chain order...
Thanks,
Scott
