Every good SCSI HBA BIOS automatically substitutes a portition of its code for the motherboard's BIOS to support booting from a SCSI HD when there are no IDE drives present. Boot from SCSI or any other non-standard boot order is an unnecessary modern BIOS convenience that enables choosing whether to boot a standard IDE HD or some other device, like a SCSI HD or ATAPI CDROM, when more than one bootable device is installed. With many motherboard BIOS, when you choose to use such a BIOS non-standard boot option and both choices aren't in fact there to choose from, you get a boot failure. Reset your motherboard BIOS to standard boot order, A:, C:, CDROM or whatever yours comes up to after a BIOS reset and/or flash, and your trouble may go away. -- "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
