  OK...  SCSI uses ID's so the SCSI devices can be addressed by the SCSI
controller.  In most cases you will use 0-6 on the narrow type, 50-pin,
connector and 0-6 / 8-15 on the wide type, 68-pin or 80-pin, connector.

  SCSI will address the lowest SCSI ID first making it the C drive. This is
what your problem is. You need to make the hard drive you have ID 0. You
will set the other hard drives to other ID's, usually set ID1, ID2, etc.

this page explains it a bit better.

Good luck,
