Is it possible ?? SCSI Primary Drive with IDE 2ndary ???
I have a SCSI drive that is my primary drive. I also have an old IDE drive that I want to hook up as a secondary drive. I have played with the jumper settings on the IDE drive to no avail. I am running Win NT 4.0 SP6. I thought I saw somewhere that if a PC has an IDE and a SCSI that the IDE Drive must be primary.
I know you are probably wondering why not just boot up on the IDE drive ???...The OS on the IDE drive is completely hosed and I cannot get it to boot even into safe mode or DOS, that is why I want it as 2ndary so I do not have to boot 2 it but can grab some important files off the other partitions on it and format it. Besides the SCSI is faster which is why I would want it as primary anyway. Any help or ideas 2 make SCSI primary and IDE 2ndary are much appreciated. |

Yes, it can be done simply by setting your boot sequence in the BIOS to SCSI, C, A. Put the IDE drive on as a primary master.
