Well let's see. Configuarion conflicts between the SATA and IDE hard drives. Bios configuration. Maybe something as simple as the IDE or SATA cable.
Good luck.

according to the paperwork on my mobo you cannot run both sata and ide, it will cause all sorts of bother and is bad for mobo

It's probably just a glitch. When you want to save something, go to browse, and look for it there.
