What'd I do wrong?

I installed  a new SATA drive in my linux box that had previously (except 
for my dvd-rw) been all PATA. I then tried to install F12 on it, and told 
it to put GRUB on the new drive. 

After I finished installing, I rebooted and it tried to boot F11 again. I 
rebooted, went into BIOS and changed the order of the drives to put the 
SATA drive in as the primary drive, and let it boot. It just hung. So 
obviously something isn't right.

I went back into BIOS and changed the order of the drives back and now I'm 
back in F11. How do I get this fixed, w/o disconnecting the PATA drives? Do 
I need to change the order of the drives in BIOS and reinstall???

I've never tried to put a fresh drive in and boot off it, so I could use a 
bit of help here. :-)

Thanks!
