Trying to run setup from the CD, but win2k pro only lists my ide secondary drive.

Drive is Cheetah 15k, card is LSI 53c1010 u160 controller.

Any ideas? Cannot find anything on LSI's site for this problem (but am still looking).

Thanks!

PS.
SCSI is known good drive - have been running xp pro on it (xp pro setup saw it) but am switching to win2k.

Thanks. Found the driver, but now the setup only sees my SCSI as the D: drive. It's not the BIOS, cause XP was installed on the SCSI as the C: drive.

I tried installed it without the IDE drive hooked up, but then I got a "Windows XP" boot up choice menu, so I think there is stuff on the IDE secondary drive from my XP install.

I guess I could copy the stuff I want from the IDE drive to a drive on another machine, re-format, and copy back only what I need, or I could just live with the D: system install.

Any drawbacks to having my sys definition on the D: drive?
Anyone know of a way to force the setup to recognize my SCSI as a C: drive.

I think it's because the SCSI must be specified for load, and by then the IDE has already grabbed the C: definition.
