Previously installed and working drive causes problems after clean reinstall

[JohnnyRed]

I recently had to reinstall XP because my primary hard drive died. My setup had 3 other hard drives as data and backup drives. 2 were 120 GB units and one was a 300 GB unit. All were partitioned as single drives. The 300 GB unit was installed after I updated XP to SP2 so I didn't have to worry about the 137 GB limitation.

I reinstalled XP on a new 400 GB Seagate drive. Because my XP disk was the original version, I had to partition the new drive into a 137 GB drive and then partitioned the rest after I had updated to XP SP2.

After that was done, I added one of the 120 GB drives as the second drive on the primary controller. It worked fine - all the data was there. Then I added the second 120 GB drive on my SIIG Ultra ATA PCI controller card. It worked fine. Then I added the 300 GB to the other receptacle on the PCI controller card and Windows would not boot. If I remove the 300 GB drive, Windows boots fine.

How do I get Windows to boot and recognize this disk as it was - with about 170 GB of video projects on it?

All drives are EIDE/ATA and set to cable select

Put the 300 on the motherboard controller and the other 120 on the card.
