Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have an Asus P4TE mobo and 2 crappy 40 gig western digital drives. Any other specs available upon request.

I think I might have figured it out. It appears my BIOS battery is dead, and when i leave the computer off it resets all of my BIOS settings, letting the IDE drives attempt to boot as OS drives. Hopefully i can find a battery for my ancient 6 year old motherboard on ebay or something. I will update if this doesn't work.

Pretty much all boards made in the last 15 years use standard size CMOS batteries, a CR3032 or a CR2032 (more likely the former than the latter). These are available for peanuts from everywhere. It's only a coin shaped little thing, bigger than the ones that power your wristwatch.
