Can't boot with certain SCSI settings?

Having a problem:

Installed WinXP Pro on a Quantum Atlas 10k attached to an Adaptec 29160. Noticed the drive was running in "Sync 40" mode, so I disabled Domain Validation. This fixed the problem (SCSI post now shows 160), but Windows will not boot. Gets just past the SCSI card initialization and says "Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk And Press Enter".

If I switch Domain Validation back on, it boots, albeit in the slower transfer mode. What gives? I'm pretty new to SCSI, so hopefully there will be a simple fix.

TIA!
