I have a Tyan Thunder k8w system with SCSI, IDE and SATA hard drives. The
system boots from the SCSI drive. I had a problem with the IDE drive, so I
replaced it with a new SATA drive. The system refused to boot without the
IDE drive connected. I was able to create a boot floppy and start the system
without the IDE drive. I modified the boot.ini file to read
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut
Any ideas on how to able to start the system without the IDE or floppy disk?
Thanks,
Darrell
