I had problems with some mobos mixing SATA and PATA drives. Bios likes
to boot one or the other. OS's don't see both drives. Keep them
separate. For instance on a PCChips I have Windoz 2000 on the PATA and
OpenSuSE on the SATA. Which I have first in the bios is the one that boots.

I tried it with only a CD trying to run the live CD and turned
everything else off in the BIOS as wemmas not having it connected in any
way. Same result.
