I ran into something like this also and it may have to do with how the BIOS 
senses boot devices. When I had a CD, DVD and 10K 120GB drive as IDE devices 
plus a floppy Neither of my SATA drives showed up in the BIOS as a boot 
device. The BIOS showed CD, 10K drive then floppy. When I removed the 10K 
drive I was able to see my boot SATA drive and use it. I Googled and found 
something about the OS sensing all IDE devices first. It looks like my BIOS 
does that also.
