Is the Harddrive that connected to the PCI Adapter Card bootable?

I don't think it is bootable. The Ultra ATA/133 PCI Adapter Card only works for second hard disk, right? Please confirm it for me.

Thanks a lot.
 
Yes, it is. Just set the BIOS for your primary boot device as "SCSI/ATA" and make sure you install the proper 3rd party drivers for your OS. I've been running my boot off a Promise U100, no troubles yet.
 
Thanks a lot, Batman.

One more question: Is it possible clone my old drive(20GB) to a new 80GB without installing OS and other Programs again?

thanks in advance.
 
If a hard drive is not bootable on an ATA 100 card them my machine boots via "The Immaculate Boot Sequence" because the onl things plugged into the mobo IDE channels are CD drives.

If you have a copy of Norton Ghost or similar utility you can ghost (clone) your drive to another. Your just switching hard drives right? If your changing systems it's better and sometimes neccesary to start all over.
 
In order to boot from the pci card it must have a bios on board. Then in your motherboard bios you select to boot from scsi since the pci ide card is treated as such.
