Don't know about the board, but are you set for AHCI?

Also, if Windows is slow to load, check your controller properties under Advanced Settings and make sure you are set to "Ultra DMA Mode 5" and not "PIO" (which runs like a POS)....

Sounds like either something is wrong with the SATA drive, the SATA cable/connection on the MOBO.... or it's software. More likely, software.

Suggest mounting the SATA as the slave and run a Low Level Format Utility on it... then try cloning from the PATA drive again.

Bitching about 15 second boot time? How often do you boot?

If that's your biggest problem, you're in really good shape.
