Boot disk not found

[orchidman]

I have juast assembled my new PC with a serial ATA drive
(ASUS A78NX MB) and WinXP Pro loaded onto the C:
partition. The PC runs great. I have several SCSI hard
drives that I would like to transfer data from through an
Adaptec 2940U2W SCSI card (my CD drives are SCSI). When I
attach the SCSI hard drives and reboot, I get the message
Can not find boot disk, insert system disk ... The SCSI
disks are set to ID 1+2 with boot profile set to ID 0.
The SATA drive is set to disk 0 as well. In this case,
does SCSI have priority over the SATA drive? Is there a
way to set the SATA priority? My boot ini reads: multi(0)
disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect. If there is no SCSI ID 0
drive, shouldn't the system boot to the SATA? Thank you
to all who respond.

Have you changed the bootdisk in BIOS
to the SATA? Or whichever hdd has Windows
on it Orchidman?

You need to configure the hdd's in BIOS
as well, so the BIOS knows theyre there.

You might have to configure SCSI thru BIOS
as well. Or the SCSI might have its own onboard
setup somewhere?
