Assuming I'm understanding your question right, and if I remember how an SATA works...
On the back of the hard drive there are little things called jumpers. Placing these a certain way will tell the drive whether it's a master or a slave, ect. Just look on the back of the hard drive, or in the manual for it, and see what jumper setting you need to make it a master. And to get it to boot first just go into setup before Windows (assuming that's what your running) starts and tell it which drive (the master) to boot from first.
Hope that helps.
