I'm working on an old Gateway NS-7000 server with NT4.0

The main HD's are SCSI but we added a 40GB removable IDE HD for use as a backup drive. The computer now won't boot when the IDE drive is connected. It's giving preference to the IDE drive and won't look to the SCSI drive to boot from. There is no option in the BIOS to boot SCSI first. I've updated the bios to the most recent version I could find and still no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Also, the 40GB is only seen as an 8GB, I know there are utilities that you can use to translate for the BIOS so you can use larger drives but I haven't used one in so long I can't remember any good ones. If anyone could make a suggestion for this as well. The IDE drive is a Maxtor.

The NT bootloader on the SCSI drive may be able to be chain booted using GRUB or something from the IDE drive.

1. If the most recent BIOS update doesn't recognize the drive as 40GB you may be screwed.
2. NT, IIRC does not need the drive to be recognized by the BIOS. You may want to try removing it from the BIOS and try if NT can't add it by the 'Add hardware/mount drives' options (or something to that effect-I'm admittedly hazy on the way NT4 HW management worked).
If that was useless advise you have my apologies.
