Disk Drive Configuration Problems

This section describes situations that may occur if your computer has multiple
disk drives, including combinations of standard disk drives and SCSI disk drives.
Standard hard disk drives can be set to the installed or not installed state by the
Setup program supplied with the host computer. The Setup program allows you
to select the number of standard hard disks that are recognized by the computer,
regardless of whether they are physically installed. SCSI drives are not controlled
through the Setup program.
If both SCSI and non-SCSI disk drives are installed, then the non-SCSI disk drive
is always the boot device.
"Standard disk drive" means a disk drive
attached to the computer through a standard
ISA/EISA,
non-SCSI
example, an IDE drive.
Check SCSI bus termination.
