Well if you can not make the SCSI drive the primary drive you are going to have
problems. Current
machine will ALWAYS set the IDE as the first device (Hard Drive ) to boot from. Now
my machine does
have this as an option. One thing that you can do is look in the advanced setting and
see if it has anything
that will allow this. Or you need to buy a SCSI card that will over ride that setting
in your bios. My machine also has
a problem that if it is off to long it will revert back to the old orginal settings.
So I need to set it when I boot, but
that is not an issue to much. I leave my machine on all the time. What kind of MB is
this running on??
