The main disk is SATA, the second disk, the one I added is EIDE. Yes my PC has both SATA and EIDE interfaces.

No drive letters have changed.

--Edit: Found the solution--

Windows has no tool for this that I could find. The final solution was:
1) Download and burn the cd iso of gparted-live
2) Boot gparted-live
3) Select the drive you wish to work on.
4) Remove all partions.
5) Remove MBR record. <- This is the key step. No windows tool will remove the MBR.
6) Apply changes.
7) Reboot.

And now it boots properly.
