Dell Dimension 9100 (2005) HDD and Boot problems

$

My original 2x160 GB SATA HDD set up crashed (blue screen) and I could not make it work. So I removed both HDDs and bought a new WD 1TB SATA HDD and clean installed Windows XP Pro, but without setting up RAID, downloaded the drivers and it works fine. I have two problems:

 

1. The network drivers I downloaded from Dell do not work and the wireless WiFi does not work.

2. When I insert the original 160GB HDD (which I thought were going to be slaves), the boot sequence goes to RAID and reads the old 160GB HDD for booting from, and of course it reports "failed"

 

Please, what do I need to do in the BIOS setup in order that Windows boots from the new WD so that I can read and recover data from the other 2 160GB HDDs? And which network driver should I download?

 

Many thanks!! (in advance..)
