PATA to SATA converter

    I just bought 2 converters and plugged everything in, switched the system on but I get the "disk boot failure. insert system disk and press enter" error.

    The system has 2 PATA devices plugged into the one IDE slot ([MASTER]DVD and [SLAVE]DVD Burner) and another 2 PATA devices plugged into SATA converters ([MASTER]160G and [SLAVE]80G hard drive) which take up 2 SATA slots. Do I need the jumpers on my drives that are connected to the SATA converters?

    If worse comes to worse I may just reset my BIOS settings even though I've enabled SATA.

    Thanks for reading!
