Thats the thing , I tried to change it but it show no IIDE picked up or no SATA ( only usb boot device )
It gives no option to change boot up sequence for hardrive or dvd rom just for usb drive :sarc:
When i unplug that drive it will boot up into windows :sarc:

thanks saakeman

See when i plug this hardrive in i unplug the other one
because i want to install linux mint on it but the bois doesn't pick the hardrive up
it also doesnt pick the dvd rom up as bootable device
i run linux on a live usb and when the hardrive is in it doesn't pick it up
but when the other "windows" hardrive is in it picks it up

On the IDE cable there will be 2 connectors (Normally, most people use sata now and most only come with 1 connector IDE cables Z:) Use the one furthest away from the MoBo side.
