A7N8X Deluxe SATA boot issue
Listonians--
I just installed WinXP Pro on a Seagate SATA drive (c:\) and I'm now trying to restore my legacy drives to the system. The system sees the IDE drives D: and E:, but when I try to add a drive back using a Maxtor Promise Ultra133 TX2 PCI IDE Controller (recognized as a scsi controller), my system refuses to boot, saying that NTLR is missing. I'm out of IDE connections on the mobo, the second IDE is filled with my CDROM and a LS120. It appears that the mobo is having trouble resolving the boot device, looking at the Maxtor Promise Ultra133 card as the boot device instead of the SATA. Without a drive attached to the Ultra133, the system boots fine, with the drive attached, no go. Similar things happen when I put my Adaptec SCSI card and SCSI drive back into the picture. Any way to force the Silicon Image to be the first SCSI device in the boot sequence? Thanks, Doug |
