GA-8I91P Duo Pro SATA Boot Device & IDE Data Drive

I'm not familiar with all the new BIOS terminology that has appeared over
the last few years and so I'm completely bewildered by all the options I
find in BIOS nowadays.
My current system has a SATA HDD drive as boot device with XP installed
successfully. I have a IDE Hard drive on IDE1 but can't see it in BIOS or
elsewhere.
I also have a CD Drive on IDE0 which is recognised ok and will boot as
expected if a bootable CD is in there.

What BIOS combination of options do I need to get my IDE drive recognised so
I can access it in Windows as a 2nd drive?

The possible combinations of options in the settings for somebody like
myself who doesn't know what he's looking for is literally in the thousands
if not more.

Or can anyone recommend a good modern site that would talk me through BIOS
settings. I've found a couple of older sites that cover BIOS pre SATA / RAID
era but they aren't much help today.

Hi - I *think* you need your IDE disc on IDE0 and the CD on IDE1.
