If BIOS confusion is the reason for the problem, that would mean that the BIOS chip has stored somewhere the assumed order and location of the HDs. I have to wonder if there is not a way to delete that memory, perhaps by removing a jumper on the MB. I don't find any reference to such a jumper in the MB documentation (this is an Intel board, 915GAV -- an older board with a Pentium IV CPU).
When specific instructions for BIOS reset are missing from the manual, all that's usually required is to unplug the power supply, and remove the battery from the motherboard for several minutes or more. Usually in recent years these batteries have been common #2032 disk batteries readily available in stores. Maybe yours is pooping out prematurely.
