I think that will be more easyer to see exactly my BIOS config

I have taken some pictures of my boot, take a look:

http://optimates.sorbonne.free.fr/doc/7n400pro2/BIOS/

Do you think something should be wrong ?

DreamK,
On page 45 of the motherboard user's manual:
SCSI/RAID Cntrl Boot OrderThis feature allows you to select the boot
order Serial ATA, RAID or SCSI device. Select boot Sequence for onboard
(or
add-on cards) SCSI, RAID, etc.
Selecting the SCSI boot option within the motherboard BIOS will over-ride
the "Adaptec host adapter BIOS".
Disable this option and reboot the computer. The Cntrl A message and
Adaptec host adapter BIOS message should appear.

Good Luck
Jeff French

The only bios are from :
SATA - ITE and ATA crontroller
and none bios message from de SCSI Card

The reason of tis absence, that's the question !

Is the SCSI BIOS Message being displayed at bootup?

Hi

I have tryed this solution but nothing more.

As well, I have tryed a new flash for having the default settings, but
nothing more.

I really don't know what to do.

- Thanks for your help Jeff -

If you have another idea, do not hesitate

DreamK,
The Cntrl A message at bootup can be hidden by disabling this
advanced
configuration option in the SCSISelect application. To restore the
Cntrl A simply enter Cntrl A during bootup when the SCSI BIOS
message is displayed, enter the SCSISelect application, select advanced
configuration option, and enable display of the Cntrl A message at
bootup.

The latest BIOS version for that SCSI card is 4.30.

Good Luck

Hi,

Thanks for your answer

The problem is not about "booting the operating system" but on "the
scsi
boot" with the specific bios message :
acces to the BIOS press CRTL A . This option will let me choose the
scsi cd-rom device like the 1 first boot (Debian cd1)

My Advanced BIOS :
# advanced bios feature scsi/raid ctrl bot order 1-adaptec scsi 2-
ite
3-ata 4- silicon
# advanced bios feature first boot device -floppy- second -scsi-
third -hdd0-

I let you see my configuration :

The main board picture and the scsi card picture :
http://optimates.sorbonne.free.fr/do...2/DSCN0065.JPG

I do not have any trouble with the scsi hard drive or another device.
I
am
just asking me why I am unable to acces to the scsi bios.

My have tested my scsi bios with flash5.exe from Adaptec, and the bios
anwser : v3.10.0.0

DreamK,
Is the SCSI card properly installed? What does your Device Manager
display? Have you installed the SCSI adapter drivers? Are you booting
this system using another operating system on another hard drive and
are
trying to boot to an operating system on the SCSI hard drives?

I would suggest removing all other hard drives but one SCSI drive.
Install WinXP using the F6 option. Once you have installed WinXP on
this
SCSI hard drive the SCSISelect message should work.

Good Luck
