He said that it is a sata drive, so no jumpers.

Unfortunately, it doesn't always work that way. If the BIOS had been
configured for a two drive setup and to boot from the slave, and then
the slave is removed, it would now boot from the slave that Stephen
puts in. I've seen this happen countless times. The only way to be
sure is to open the BIOS and configure it each time a drive is added
or removed. It is not difficult.
