OK, here's an update.  I bought a new internal SATA controller card from 
NewEgg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815280008) 
and just installed it.  The PC won't boot from the HD.  I get "Insert 
System Disk and try again" (something like that).  I can boot to the 
LiveCD and see the HDs under /dev (/sda is my main OS disk and /sdb is 
my storage drive for Myth).

I mount the sda1 partition since I know that's where my /boot partition 
is.  I can see the files, so I'm not really sure why the system can't 
boot from the drive.  I know that in my MB, there were options for the 
Onboard SATA controller, but I disabled it since I figured that would 
interfere with the new card. 

Does anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to get the OS to boot 
from the drive on this new card?

Thanks,
Harry
