Hi
I've just added a Seagate SATA drive thru a silicon controller PCI card.
The card drivers are OK but XP does not boot when the sata drive is plugged in.
If I take out the cable XP will boot - then i can plug it back in and the drive is there.
I have a dual boot XP and 98SE - win 98 works fine but i cannot boot from my original IDE drive where XP resides.
The boot menu in bios points to the ide drive and nothing else but the pci based sata drive is where it tries to boot from every time.
Any help much appreciated.
