i think you need to go into your bios and change it to boot of you new drive

Yes, Andy is correct. In your BIOS, change the default boot drive to your new SATA one.

i did that already i should have put that :/

In many BIOS'es you have to choose a default hard drive. Make sure the right hard drive is selected, and the hard drive is set to boot first.

You can also try disconnecting the old drive. Maybe the new one cannot boot, and you need to run Startup Repair.

Unplug the old HD, boot Win7 DVD Repair console, click through to recovery tools list, run Startup Repair up to 3 separate times with reboots as it needs to attempt repair and possibly rewrite MBR to cloned HD.
