I'm setting up an NT4 machine which boots from SCSI.

The NT explorer doesn't see the Iomega zip drive.
It's connected via the on-motherboard IDE controller and I've installed an
NT4 driver from Iomega.

It's the only device on the channel.
I've tried changing to the second IDE channel.
I'm not using any jumper on the drive, but have also tried the
master-jumper and slave-jumper.

During the POST, the BIOS correctly identifies the drive. I've set the
BIOS as AUTO detect.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

do you have ide disk controller driver installed on this machine? It is not
neccessary on scsi only sytem, especially when F6 option of installer was
needed foir installation (this disable autodect and autoload of drivers
during install, so everything should be installed manually during
installation or later).

try to add either standard ATAPI/IDE driver (preferably SP4 version of it,
but even build version should work) or motheboard specific IDE disk
controller driver.

Go to > Control Panel | Devices and verify that the the atapi device is
started. Set the Startup Type as a Boot device.

Duh!

Control-Panel/Devices/Atapi, startup as boot, worked!

Thank you.
