Press F11 or whatever key is assigned the boot menu.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

IDE or SATA drives? In IDE case, you will either set the drive you wish to boot from as master via the jumper on the drive or the cable select method. In the case of SATA you may need to set the boot drive in the bios but i may be right in thinking that providing your current SATA drive is plugged into the SATA0 connection then your bios should be detecting that as your primary HDD boot drive.

In the case of SATA drives I'd suggest you check in your bios tho and find documentation for your motherboard also and check.
