Now I want to use this SCSI-drive as my boot-drive with windows. I can select in my system-bios (Award) the drive to start from (C/A/SCSI), so that must not be the problem. I managed to make my SCSI drive bootable with FDISK. DOS doesn't see my adapter (and drives). I have put some files on the win98 startup disk. I downloaded these files from the LSIlogic homepage (DOS-drivers). These files are : symc8xx.sys and aspidisk.sys. I put some lines in config.sys (Device=symc8xx.sys and Device=aspidisk.sys). Now DOS must see my adapter... but DOS doesn't see it, while FDISK in DOS does. I find this strange. If I only knew how to let DOS see my SCSI drive, I could put Windows on it. My Windows 98 system says that I can't put an older windows (95 rel. 25) on my system, so I must do this in DOS. I hope someone can help me with this.
