16039 2001-07-24 04:11:00 I have a seagate scsi drive in an old p60 machine and its not booting up - just says non-system disk error.
When I go into bios all drives are set to none in cmos setup including C.
I know the bios settings got mixed up somehow, does this drive have to be list there?
and how can I do it as I dont know what the settings are.

16040 2001-07-24 05:10:00 I'm pretty sure that the computer's BIOS only lists IDE drives that are installed unless you have an onboard SCSI controller. If you have a SCSI controller card then you will have to enter the SCSI card's BIOS and set up the drive there to be bootable etc. The SCSI card should display a keyboard shortcut that you can use to enter its BIOS....

Try changing it to include the SCSI option.

when I boot it gets to posting the scsi bios onscreen then it halts with system disk failure.
