[RESOLVED] SCSI IDE Drive letters.

[Calvin]

I have the Asus BX-6 v2.0 motherboard, a 12Gb IDE, and a Cheetah SCSI.
Is there anyway with the Award BIOS that I can assign the SCSI drive to C: and have the IDE D: and E:? (It's partitioned).
I know if I disconnect the drive it gives c: to the SCSI but I can't figure out what to do?

go look for a program called Tweak BIOS, I'm not sure if the unregistered version lets you do this, or whether your award bios will let you do this, but there are quite a few other programs of this type around.

Why do you need to do this? you can boot (in most bioses) from whereever you want, I know its easy to forget to install programs to D instead of C but its hardly the end of the world.

I may be wrong, but I would think that if you set your boot sequence to SCSI first, then the SCSI drive will automatically become the boot drive, which will be C:, and your IDE drive will be assigned D: and E:.

But I may be wrong...

stevet you may well be wrong, even if you boot from scsi your bios rarely lets this drive actually be c:\. Both award & ami do this, as your ide controller usually lives in the southbridge and is, to the bios, not really aseperate device, it doesn't want to find the scsi card/controller until after post, so ide is almost always c.
