Subject: [G] Moving hard drive from ATA controller to built-in
controller
System: Beige G3 with SIIG Ultra 133 ATA PCI Card. OS 9.2.2
I had a hard drive bootable from the built-in ATA controller. I
installed a new drive on the SIIG card, intiialized it, then
copied the
system from the built-in drive to the new add-in drive. I removed
the
built-in drive. Then I booted from the add-in drive and it worked
great
- quite a bit faster too.
Then I took a shot at updating the SIIG firmware, but it failed.
So I
tried hooking the SIIG drive to the built-in controller, but it
was not
recognized. Is this expected? Is there a way around it?
Yes. The formatting scheme for the built-in IDE controller is
different from the scheme for the IDE controller card. You must
re-initialize the drive to move it from one interface to the
other. Of course, re-initializing destroys all data on the drive.

Not true.
What he said, from a different perspective. The boot drive currently
connected to my GigE's internal bus is a drive I formatted and used
on my Siig ATA 133 controller in my Beige; just moved it right over.
Granted this is OS X not OS 9 but the disk formatting is the same.
Something ELSE is causing this problem.
