Sounds like a bios configuration. You probably have one of the newer bioses which allows you to choose from multiple boot devices, and if it fails, it falls through to the next. That's why you can boot. However, because the sata drive (probably because the pci controller is given priority) was the first drive "seen", it became wd0. All you have to do is to go into the bios, and set the boot priority such that the ide drive boots before everything else. -Tai
