> The simpel answer is: (drum roll) DON'T TELL THE BIOS ABOUT THE IDE DRIVE then it'll just ignore it.. (of course if you allow it to do an 'auto configure' on a new machine it'll find it, but who trusts computers?) > Now, my problem is this: I heard that you can have both IDE and SCSI in > the same system, but if you do, the computer will *ALWAYS* boot from the > IDE. This is not what I want, since this would complicate things. > BUT... maybe the system only tries booting from the PRIMARY IDE, and > leaves the secondary (if it's even there) alone.
