Trying to set up one Sata and one IDE HDD

I just reformatted my current SATA Western Digital Raptor and fresh installed windows. I found an old IDE hard drive in a box with my driver CD's and am trying to use it for extra storage. Problem is, when I connect the IDE cable to the HDD, it boots from copy of windows of installed on it and doesn't seem to recognize my USB keyboard or mouse, so I can't even change bios to boot from the SATA drive (if that is even the correct way of doing it).

I've read some guides on how to properly set up hard drives with jumpers and keeping disk drives off the same cables as hard disk drives, but got a little confused. Currently my IDE cable goes to HDD first, then the end goes to my disk drive. They also seem to both be missing any jumpers in them.
 
Got it working thank you.

This forum never lets me down, I'm stilling running my Nvidia 8800 GTS that I baked in my oven and that must have been nearing 1 1/2 years ago or so. Hopefully I'll be retiring it and starting a new build in a couple months. Thanks again.
