Check your motherboard BIOS for the boot options, see if it allows SCSI
first, if not contact the manufacturer to see if there is a flash available
for changing it, assuming it is flashable BIOS.

>When I boot up NT (with a bootdisk, on the IDE disk I have another OS,

>The device is not ready for use; its door may be open. Please check drive

>F:
>G: (which is cdrom)

>But now suddenly, it is:
>C:\ (this holds the dir winnt)
>D:\ (the rest of the old c:\)
>Removable disk E:
