This is an amplification on the previous report of booting
difficulties from a SATA drive.

System has three IDE drives + DVD on the usual controller.
I added a SATA drive to increase memory.  The bios allows
the the boot order to be changed, so I was able to install
XP on the SATA drive and boot it.

I installed FC4 to the SATA drive and used the advanced 
install option to write the boot to the SATA drive.  But
Windows still booted directly, no Grub.
