Good Morning Everyone,

I just converted my system from IDE to SCSI and some hardware are not
workingand thi is my set-up.

OS : WINDOWS 98   Build 4.10.1998
MoBo : ABIT BE-6
CPU : P3-550 Katmai
Memory : Micron 128MB PC-100 CAS 2
Video: Matrox G-400MAX
Sound: Monster MX-300
Modem : Supra 56K SPi V.90
SCSI Controller : TEKRAM-DC-390U2W
FLoppy Disk : TEAC
IDE- 1  Master : Quantum KA+ 13.6GB
          Slave   : WD Caviar 6.4GB
IDE-2  Master : Creative DVD-5X/32X

On Start -Up screen
ID-7 -   SCSI controller: Tekram
ID-0  -  Quantum ATLAS III 18.0GB 72K LVD/SE 68-pin
ID-2 -   HP Photosmart  SCSI-2 Scanner
ID-3 -   Iomega ZIP 100 SCSI-2
ID-5 -   Plextor CD-ROM 40X
ID-6 -   Plextor CD-R  8X/20X

In Windows Explorer the letters are :

Quantum 13.6 is partition C-  Active
                                      D- Extended
                                      E- Logical
                                      F- Logical

WD 6.4 partition into G - logical
                               H - Logical
ZIP-100                     I
Creative  DVD            J
CD-Rom                    K
CD-Recorder              L

I want to make my Quantum 18 GB partition into 4 and set as Boot disk
and it is not seen by MB Bios on boot up. the Zip drive ,CD-ROM and CD-R
are not working only the HP scanner is working. I can access both IDE
hard disk and DVD player.

How do I partition and format the SCSI Drive and set it as Boot Drive:
C- Active w/ D as Extended and E/F as logical and  remapped all my drive
letters.

The SCSI LVD Drive is terminated w/ LVD cable & LVD internal terminator
68 pin and SCSI-2 50 pin cable is  terminated w/ internal active
terminator and the HP scanner w/ external active termination

Please help !! I have consulted  some local tech and they are not
familiar with this kind of set-up.

It 's use primarily  for photo editing in PhotoShop 5.5 and web surfing.

Thank you

Ding Marcelo
