When I install my other hard drive, I have it on slave. My main is on primary master channel 3. The new one I just want to store **** on. But when I start the computer with the new hard drive(which has windows XP on it) it tries to boot up from it. How can I get my computer just to boot up from the main HD which is SATA and then just recognize the new hard drive?

If your computer was booting from SATA fine before, but not since you put the IDE drive in, then take out any booting options that relate to the IDE drive. Set all your boot options to ZIP or something, and see what happens. After going through that initial list, it should try boot from other devices (assuming it has been set in the BIOS) and should work. Otherwise, how would your computer have booted previously?
