I an unable to force my SCSI HD (only HD in my PC) to boot as the primary boot device.
I have a Asus M2A-VM motherbord with an Adaptec 29160 Controller with a 73GB Segate Cheetah.
Intalled XP Pro with no problems, the setup detected the controller and HD with no issues.
I cannot however; set my SCSI HD as my primary boot device in my bios. My MB bios seems to only support IDE/SATA. If I set my primary boot device as my CD ROM and put my XP disc in the drive upon startup I will get the message “Press any key to boot from CD…” when the time runs out, the HD will boot up windows.
If I set the HD as the primary boot device (or only boot device), I get the message “BOOT DISK FAILURE”.
