Regards James My motherboard is the Asus MN2-SLI Deluxe, 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+. I boot off a 320G SATA drive and the spare drive is a 250G IDE, it also worked the other way round with no problems. Both the one IDE and the SATA controllers are built-in. One suggestion is to try installing 10.3 on the SATA drive without the IDE drive attached to see if it's a SATA or possibly a BIOS problem.
