boot to scsi drive

[b cary]

Attempting to boot to windows 2000 on a scsi drive in a
system with IDE drives present. BIOS on Asus p5a-b
motherboard is set to boot from scsi drive first but IDE
drive is always assigned as drive 0 and system attempts to
boot from that drive. Bios has been reflashed with no
change to boot order. Is is possible that this motherboard
is not compatible with windows 2000? Checked interrupts
for conflicts and relocated pci cards to different slots
to eliminate shared IRQ's

Check SCSI adapter BIOS settings. Check this '99 m/b compatibility with HCL
(CDROM\Support\hcl.txt)

Jetro is correct...
An IDE drive is always set to be the first boot device by default.
Check the scsi bios settings and make sure the scsi drive is set as "active"
and that the boot .ini is pointing to the winnt folder.

I have found that with a number of mb's and scsi setups you have to tell the
machine in the BIOS that there are no hard drives installed on the ide
check.......then it will default to the scsi for the boot.......
