Speaking of lots of SATA ports - How do you tell the BIOS which SATA port you want to boot off of? And, if you have both SATA drives and regular SCSI drives, how do you tell the BIOS which disk to boot from? In my particular case I want to boot off the regular SCSI drive if there is one, and the drive on the first SATA port if there isn't a regular SCSI drive.
I had a problem where I wanted the system to boot from SATA drive 1, and it insisted on booting from my "old" C drive, which was on the second SATA port. The only way around this dilemna was to mark the old C drive "non startable."
