SCSI & IDE drive
I have a PC where the SCSI controller is on the mb. Right now I have 2 drives SCSI (0) and (1), and everything works fine. I want to add another HD, but its IDE. If I install it and set the jumpers correctly it tries to boot from the IDE drive and not the SCSI drives.
If I go into the BIOS and select boot order, it doesnt give me options for both of them. Its something like
CD
floppy (A:)
USB
Hard Disk (C:)
Thanks!

Yes, you can do that. Booting from an IDE drive is not so bad if you use a 7200 rpm drive with a large cache - they can be competitive against desktop SCSI drives.
