Hi, i recently built a computer with ultrawide SCSI2 LVD HDD and want it to be the active/ system disk. (ie. disk that boots). Anyways, initial boot detected the SCSI drive & i installed XP and made it the boot/system drive, works, ran, installed all programs... The problem here was that, Next day come, the usual SCSI boot up screen did not appear anymore. Then it goes NO SCSI found. Tries to boot to floppy, CDROM, then IDE. Then goes
NTDRL missing. yada yada. (ie. since the IDE-0 is not the boot disk & SCSI contains boot section)
Why doesn't the usual SCSI boot up screen occur after the first boot/ disk detection stage etc. [if this screen does not pop up then SCSI hdd is not detected during dos]
i've tried inserting into other PCI slots. booting Barebone system, can not seem to get the disk to boot up anymore.
If i was to boot into MsWindows XP via CDROM (ie initial setup [NB XP & 2000 loads up SCSI drivers in dos...).. i can install into the SCSI2 HDD however at the 2nd stage of windows installation, SCSI is no longer detected n thus gives error. Error msg occur such as above 'SCSI not found' . If i install an OS into the IDE HDD, SCSI HDD can be seen in windows.
my system is...
K7S5A board
XP 1600
256 SDRAM [tested with memtest 100% good]
Leadtek Winfast GF2 Ti TH
Ultrawide 2 SCSI card [LVD]
SCSI2 LVD 9.8 GB seagate barraccuda
9.8Gb IDE HDD
2 NIC
cheap SCSI card [80 pin] + SCSI CDR
400W Leadman PSU
