Good morning all,
This is my second posting requesting help from you all.
My last problem was resolved by getting a better Quality motherboard than the ECS pt800ce-a. I have 2 desktops that were configured the same with the same motherboard and ram and processor. I run one with XP and another I’m building for a friend and it runs on windows 2000.
My XP box runs excellent with a new ABIT IS7 motherboard.
The second box is my problem child. It seems to also be running excellent on windows 2000 installed on a new SATA disk drive.
Were my problem comes up is that my friend’s original computer was based on a SCSI disk drive and he would like access some of the info on that drive
I have PCI SCSI Bus Master Controller AWARD Phoenix v6.00pc bios
I want to boot from my SATA disk drive whose controller is on my motherboard.
I can do this when my SCSI controller is not installed.
Once I install the Bus Master it becomes just that.
I have looked into my bios and seen the Advanced BIOS Features- Hard Drive Boot Priority.
The only entry in that section of setup is 1. Bootable add in cards.
I can not alter the setting at all and there is no other option.
As long as the card is installed I can not get by this.
What do I need to do? Short of telling him he is out of luck.
