I've been suffering with this for years, and finally decided I should resolve it... buslogic BT-930 (flashpoint lt) pci scsi adapter plextor 12Plex PX-12CSi CD rom I can't boot from the CD. I have the scsi controller bios (ver 1.31p) set to enable booting from CD, and have the jumper on the CD for "Block", which the manual says "Leave this jumper off, unless you are working in the unix environment and want to boot from your CD-ROM drive." I've tried it both ways. I've tried booting with the CD jumper both ways, to no effect. I originally had the CD scsi ID set to 6, with the HDDs at 0 and 1. That would, I thought, explain booting only from HDD-0, assuming it was bootable. However, I recently changed the IDs so the CD is 0 and the HDDs are 1 and 2, with no better luck. I'm now using an Asus A7N8X-E mobo, which appears to have bios boot settings only for SCSI in general, and not a particular type of SCSI device. It does have settings for CD-ROM and HDD-0,1,2,3 but as nearly as I can tell those all assume EIDE devices. Any ideas why I can't boot from the CD?' Thanks, Gary
