Yeah worked fine on my 5 yr old Dell when I added a new HD with the
Thermaltake BlackX and it started booting off that; went in and changed the
order and was good to go!

that, does Windows listen? Or does it have its own mind about what drive it

>>>It's time to reinstall the OS, which will be either Vista or 7 and I'm
going to move the current boot drive to be storage only (I have some
questions as to its ability as a boot drive). So, the question becomes,
what's the easiest way to do this without having this drive still be the
boot drive? This is a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P and there are 8 SATA ports, 6
are labelled SATA 2_0 through SATA2_5, two others are supposedly 3GB ports
labelled GSSATA2_0 and GSSATA2_1. Case is very crowded so I want to have to
do as little rewiring as possible, so can I add a drive to one of the
unoccupied GS ports and have it come out as the boot drive, or do I have to
put the new drive in the port from this drive? It would seem a shame if the
boot drive can't be a 3.0GB port. Manual is unclear here, I just want to
make sure that the old drive is not used by Windows for anything to do with
boot. The drive has too much info for me to just wipe right now.
