Don't upgrade the bios.
You gave us no info on the pc so I'll be general.
I have two settings, one determines the order of the drives. I can have
4 IDE and 2 SATA. So I have to pick a drive order. This just
determines Drive 0, 1,2,3,4, etc in disk manager.
Then I have to determine boot order. Floppy, CD, HD (and what hd).

Sata never comes into it. If I pick a SATA drive then I guess I around
the barn picked SATA.
