I have an issue with the fact that no matter what I do, if I install and IDE drive - the BIOS will always try to boot off of the IDE drive. Hence my issue. So any thoughts on how I can boot on my SCSI drive and then setup and transfer over the data to the IDE drive? I have done this perfectly in the reverse (IDE -> SCSI) - but not this way. thanks- -- J.D.
