I understand your opinion Dilbert, however my experience in the field has shown that even a junk drive that has major boot sector problems will still TRY to boot, and do show up in the boot device list. I found a friend at work this past Friday, and went over to test everything to make my mind at ease. He has a TYAN board that he uses his SATA drive as a boot device. We took out his drive and connected up mine, and the system booted. so now I atleast know that I can use the drive as a booter, just have to try your trick Dilbert. Can you give me details on how to set it up that way? I would appreciate it.
