OK, this is weird. I have an Abit IC7 (Intel 875/ICH5R chipset). I'm using two SATA drives, but not in a RAID, one is my OS drive.
I picked up an old LSIULVD card and a Sony AIT2 scsi tape drive so I could back up some of my data to tape (just too time consuming to back up to 4gb DVD-Rs). I put the card in my system, go through POST, boom! No Boot into Windows (Insert Boot disk etc. error)
OK, check the BIOS settings for boot sequence, looks good here - my SATA drive is still the #1 in Hard Drive Boot order... Bootable Add-In Card is last... not that the LSI card is installing it's bios as there are no bootable devices (cd or hdd) connected, just the tape drive. Just won't boot. Take the scsi card out again, boots up normally.
anyone know if there is some weird issue with this chipset, sata drives and scsi cards?
