why am I having IRQ problems ?

Trying to install a WD4000YR sata hard drive on my machine and when I plug it in the computer will boot up until windows but will not boot windows from my other sata drive.

I have turned off the auto IRQ allocation in bios

but I still can not get it to work.

I disconnect this drive and the computer boots fine. As you can see from my history I am very computer savy but this one has me stumped.
