This is just a simple matter of modifing your boot order to reflect the presence of the scsi controller

I am guessing here that you have no IDE drive installed in this system (which is just fine :)


but the computer bios is looking for an IDE drive to boot from


you simply need to enter your computers bios (not scsi bios) and make the first boot option the scsi controller or scsi drive which ever option your individual bios allows

then your bios will know which device you want to boot from; computers always look for IDE drives first; if you dont command it to also look for the scsi controller it will give up trying to boot when the IDE is not found.

dumb computers huh ?????

edit ***** after changing the bios boot order dont forget to "save & exit" the bios & then reboot
