Hi There.

Looking for your help to find a post to support a solution for the following problem or if you know the solution I could sure use your help.

I have a SCSI drive on a INI-9100UW pci card it boots fine.
I have 4 250GB HDD on the raid controller in raid 5 for storage.

I go into bios and set the INI-9100UW to boot as first device and the bios wont boot my scsi drive. "says missing NTL loader." Yet if I pull the power cables on the 4 drives the bios boots to the card no problem. I've also tried to disable the raid set in the 'hard drive' option so the bios only sees the INI-9100UW and that doesnt work either.

I get that the bios is looking to the intel controller for the boot file. How can I get the bios to change? Do I have to upgrade my bios?

Very frustrating.

Ideas?

thanks,

Short for NT Loader, a program loaded from the hard drive boot sector that displays the Microsoft Windows NT startup menu and helps Windows NT load

Got it. Sorry, windows 'does' boot fine from the scsi with out the sata drives pugged in.

I reviewed it again and it's asking me to reboot and specify boot media.. so I hit F8 key when the system boots, specify the INI-9100UW and it takes me to a screen that says reboot and specify boot media again. Also, I have the 'latest' bios for my board installed. It just seens that for whatever reason the bios is looking to the onboard raid first and won't change up the order.

set the onboard raid as the last boot device,and see if that helps
