   HDD SATA bootable - how?

   Hi All,   
      
   The task is to install Windows XP Home SP3 on SATA disk.   
      
   There are 2 contollers: EIDE and SATA on the mainboard.   
      
   The MAIN page in BIOS shows as follows:   
   Primary Master            Not Installed   
   Primary Slave              Not Installed   
   Secondary Master       DVD-ROM   
   Secondary Slave         DVD-RW   
   Third master                 HDD SATA   
      
   After booting system using CD with the operating system   
   the disk SATA is visible and I can start to install system on it.   
      
   Do I have to do anything special to make the disk bootable?   
      
   I would be very grateful for any help.   
      
   Regards   
   M.E.
