When there are several drives connected to the adapter, how does it decide which one to boot from?

Move the sata cables around

Alright, so it's always the first SATA port on the card. Thanks!

NECRO BUMP.

Is it possible to have a SATA300 working under Windows 95?

Thanks!

I have it working just fine on Windows 98 with IDE drive cable attached to 40-pin connector on the card. Boot device in BIOS is "SCSI".
However, I can't get 250 GB SATA drive with 20 GB partition visible in Windows 98.
I even used another controller which has official 9x support. Still SATA drive is missing from Windows 98. While Windows XP boots well from it using either card.

UPDATE:
Finally, I discovered that partitions on SATA drive are visible in fdisk. Both were NTFS. I removed one and re-created with fdisk. And voila, it appeared in Windows 98 Explorer. Problem solved.
