You have to change it to "Boot from SCSI/ata 100 device" in the bios because its not a primary IDE device. You know the boot sequence is usually A,C,CDROM ? Well the boot sequence must now be A,SCSI/ATA100 device,CDROM or like, it wont boot eh ? http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/smile.gif

I found out the hard way! http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/smile.gif Also make sure the driver for the ATA-100 device is installed in device manager !!!
