Help after Cloning - SATA Drive letters reversed!

I need some help here and I'm sure it's an easy solution involved.
History: Drive C: 160GB (System) Drive D: 200GB (Data)
I unplugged old D:,
physically removed C: and installed new 300GB HDD in it's place (SATA Primary).
I then plugged in the OLD C: using the old D: cables (SATA Secondary) running from the MoBo
Booted up using the Bootable Actonis 9TI CD, selected the Clone, Manual, Proportional, etc etc... left the source disk as is... & commenced the clone.

Current situation:
After the cloning was successful, I shut down the computer, left the new larger C: in it's bay with the primary SATA cable, plugged in the OLD D: drive using the secondary SATA cable & restarted. Got the "NTLDR is Missing" error... I shut it down, unplugged the old D: drive and rebooted - it worked fine. The new system drive was the 300GB - Drive 0:
I shut it down again - reconnected the D: cables and rebooted. Got the "NTLDR is Missing" error again. It seems that my computer has assigned my OLD D: drive as the boot drive and of course, can't find the NTLDR file BECAUSE IT AIN'T THERE! When I boot using my Windows XP CD and select 'Repair' just to get to the command prompt - it shows my old D: as C: and my new C: as D: (I even remembered some of the old DOS commands to do a DIR on both drives and everything is there - just the letters are reversed WHEN THEY'RE BOTH PLUGGED IN) Making sense so far? Are ya with me?

Question:
How do I tell my computer that the drives are reversed? I can't afford to lose the data on my old D: ...

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Hehehe - solved it... I went into the BIOS setup and saw that my 200GB had been designated as the primary boot hdd - instead of the new 300GB. I switched 'em in the setup and VOILA! Life is good again!

all that angst for naught... le sigh.

Mike out!
