Mylex problems

I know that he won't boot from SCSI unless he disables the IDE controller but otherwise the Mylex should work in his system. Make sure that IDE is disabled and that the drive types in BIOS are set to none or 1 and see where that gets him with it. => -----Original Message----- => From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Richard Erlacher => Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2002 9:56 AM => To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => Subject: OT: Mylex problems => => => A friend has come to me with a problem I don't seem to be able => to solve.
